A8 - ActionAid
| Series information: | "This series of photographs was taken as part of a major advocacy project for ActionAid, A8, ahead of the 2005 G8 Summit in Scotland. The images, which come from Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria and Uganda, highlight various aspects of Africa’s many development challenges. Being acutely aware that the G8 summit would involve eight Western men taking decisions about the economic prospects of much of the developing world, we decided to showcase the lives of eight African women and the importance of the Millennium Development Goals for their future wellbeing. The photographs and stories of these women were used as protest banners for the summit." - Gideon Mendel |
