International Women’s Day

 This young women captured at an International Festival represents not only her beauty, she also carries a certain strengths within her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each year the International women’s Day has a certain theme, for this year it was chosen PressforProgress.

There is so much to be said about, my choice is to contribute some images I have taken through out trips to different countries, capturing women. This maybe being in their prayers , performing their cultural rituals, carrying for a child or having a voice in speaking, singing or playing music.
