The carefully crafted structure of leadership allows for mentorship between the board and new volunteers.

It was important for me to get to know other women doing the same work, and connect to opportunities and resources to help me grow in my career. I was WPOW president, to further advocate for diverse storytellers and welcome women into a community that can help them navigate an industry that can be overwhelming. I understand how that feels.

I needed a bigger market to remain in journalism, so I used the 2021 Seminar + Review to meet and seek advice from industry leaders.

"I joined WPOW just after it was formed. I jumped into it with both feet & have never looked back. WPOW and I have grown up together. I’ve held nearly every position and am now co-director. Volunteering has honed my leadership skills in innumerable ways. The best part of WPOW, however, are the friendships. We lift each other up in hard times and celebrate one another in good moments. Few people can understand what life is like as a photojournalist." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/90b62b2f-dbba-4dbd-bd12-4509e71b25c9/volunteer002.JPG volunteer Past WPOW President Evelyn Hockstein and longtime Seminar + Review chairperson Kara Frame are pictured at the 2020 event. contact us to volunteer at this event on October 21, 2023.

But I also knew I wanted to be a mother and have a family one day. When I met Jacquelyn Martin in 2020, it was the first time I realized it was possible to have both. Since then, I’ve loved getting to know the other women of WPOW who are able to understand and support me in the workplace in ways my male counterparts can’t."

His mother Murdya Mahmood Khalil weeps as she accepts the imminent loss of her son. A doctor on the medical mission suggests the most humane treatment is palliative care. Many of the disabled are shunned by the community and husbands abandon the family, as did Murdya's spouse. Her other young son is showing signs of the progressive deformities as well. It is believed that marriages between close relatives may be the cause of many genetic birth defects in the refugee camps. As a result of the conflicts many of the men were killed and it has led to these marriages. As Shivan fades away, the war with ISIS continues to wage in Mosul. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/1fdcb578-6f73-4068-b978-9c3bd9fde422/03_arg103.jpg galleries - 2017 (photo by Aubrey Gemignani/NASA) Fifty fourth-grade Girl Scouts participate in the Friendship Circle at the first-ever White House Campout held as part of the Let's Move!

My mind has always been jumbled with images of Satan and God and my first memory is of fog and images no one else could see. I stopped looking in the mirror when I was eleven, until I went into foster care in high school, because my mother told me I had 'Seven plus one demons' in me and I could see them so I stopped looking at myself. Can you see that demon to the right? Mocking me. When I turned 13 I started having migraines that felt like if I opened my eyes someone, one of those demons, was stabbing me in my skull all the way down to my eyes. I had no words; just fear, pain and demons reminding me I was damaged. Not even God could love me."

She is one of the few girls who goes to school past a young age. The economy is mainly based on agriculture with more than 95% of the population involved with farming. Despite its great potential, crop production in Kalalé remains weak and easily influenced by natural conditions. There is precious little rainfall during the six-month dry season that runs from November to April each year. During the dry season, the land of Kalalé is parched and its people are hungry. Malnutrition is widespread and most girls won't get access to education because the most pressing challenge for all the people of Kalalé is having enough food to eat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/2c178b29-e5b5-483c-8847-a80b96cbc9b8/WPOW_2016_012.jpg galleries - 2016 (photo by Amy Toensing/Reportage by Getty Images) Little girl dresses hang on a laundry line on a porch August 1, 2002 in Utuado, Puerto Rico. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/a9d56148-62ed-4aeb-918f-00738e0c04a9/WPOW_2016_013.jpg galleries - 2016 (photo by Susana Raab) Four summer girlfriends pose on the beach of Mancora, Peru. 2008. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/7d9ae5d6-347b-45db-bb8b-60abc7f0261f/WPOW_2016_014.jpg galleries - 2016 (photo by Melissa Golden) Rebecca Duffell and Karen Lee decided to cement their relationship by getting married at a Unitarian church in Bethesda, MD, September 1, 2007.

She is one of the few girls who goes to school past a young age. The economy is mainly based on agriculture with more than 95% of the population involved with farming. Despite its great potential, crop production in Kalalé remains weak and easily influenced by natural conditions. There is precious little rainfall during the six-month dry season that runs from November to April each year. During the dry season, the land of Kalalé is parched and its people are hungry. Malnutrition is widespread and most girls won't get access to education because the most pressing challenge for all the people of Kalalé is having enough food to eat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/6ed8700b-4076-4867-b90a-a40ef90a0f17/WPOW_2014_002.jpg galleries - 2014 (Photo by Ami Vitale) Naitemu Letur pushes a jug of water back to her manyatta.

" Rather than something that has to be guarded from local communities, the environment becomes a source of sustainable economic activity for those communities. Traditionally, women like Letur, who is a Maa-speaking Samburu were pastoralists, whose livelihoods have traditionally been rooted in semi nomadic cattle, goat and sheep farming across the rangelands of northern Kenya. But as changing times bring increased pressure on natural resources, grazing cattle has become a volatile livelihood, as unpredictable drought and competition with protected wildlife for grazing becomes more frequent.

Since 2006 more than 100 people with albinism have been physically attacked in the East African nation, 71 of whom died. Attacks by witch doctors, who use albino body parts in potions said to bring riches, have led the government to place children and adults with albinism into centers for their own safety.

The continent of largely urban societies is essentially fractured, showing a basic duality of rich and poor, formal and informal, organized and disintegrated, ruled and unruled. In addition, a wider set of problems have been emerging over the past decades such as alarmingly low levels of social trust and the proliferation of violence and fear. Here, a teenage girl breast feeds her 10 day old baby. She conceived the baby after she was kidnapped and raped.

Puerto Rico was an outpost of Spanish colonialism for 400 years, until the United States took possession in 1898. Today Puerto Rico's Spanish-speaking culture reflects its history - a mix of African slaves, Spanish settlers, and Taino Indians. Puerto Ricans fight in the U.S. armed forces but are not entitled to vote in presidential elections. They passionately debate their relationship with the U.S. with about half the island wanting to become the 51st state and the other half wanting to remain a U.S. commonwealth. A small percentage feel the island should be an independent country. While locals grapple with the evils of a burgeoning drug trade and unchecked development, drumbeats still drive the rhythms of African-inspired bomba music. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/ac02a14f-19a5-4fc8-ae4a-c3fb9bed06c5/WPOW_2008_009.JPG galleries - 2008 (photo by Andrea Bruce/The Washington Post) Miriam prays with her aunt in her aunt’s Baghdad home.

The patients of the hospital are women with childbirth injuries. The injured women suffer in silence for years. Fistula creates an unyielding inconvenience not only for the woman living with this condition, but also for her family and her entire community. Because of the smell of constantly leaking urine, these women are often shunned from the village and have no means for survival. Many of them go to monasteries to live. Others choose the anonymity of homelessness in a big city, until someone tells them that a cure awaits them in places such as Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital or some of its outreach centers in Bahr Dar, Yirgalem, and Mekelle.

Although the few bedrooms to house these women–who have been threatened, or are victims of domestic violence–are large, living quarters are still full with beds to meet the needs of the large number of women seeking refuge. The women can only leave the shelter once their court order comes through. Because lawyers can only be arranged by the government or family members, many women end up living in the shelter for months or even years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/68a968ad-08fa-4195-8f95-42456b5f62b6/WPOW_2008_028.JPG galleries - 2008 (photo by Astrid Riecken/The Washington Times ) Born in Germany and raised by Turkish-Egyptian parents, dancer and choreographer Nejla Y.

The teenager had been severely burned in a kerosene lamp accident in her native Sichuan Province in China. Swartz encountered the girl on a trip to Beijing, where her family had traveled desperate for assistance. She promised help, and keeping that promise, first paid school fees for the girl, then 12, and later arranged for free medical care for Zhou Lin at Shriner hospital in Boston. After multiple surgeries, including the amputation of the lower part of both legs, it became increasingly clear that a return to rural China would have posed a severe risk to Zhou Lin’s health, so eventually her mother faced the hard decision to leave her eldest daughter behind in America, where she would receive the high quality health care and schooling that her impoverished family would not be able to offer her back home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/a087b5ce-486e-4cf7-9a3b-1b5fdaaf99a5/WPOW_2008_035.JPG galleries - 2008 (photo by Jessica Koscielniak-Woolf) Underneath the covers, Catherine Lynch of Alexandria, Va. spends the majority of her final days sleeping in a room at her daughter Catherine Conley's house.

She identifies strongly with the indigenous population because they have also historically been devalued and heavily discriminated against. When she was just 18 she had the realization that her life had no value in the world, that she was a nobody. Later, through a subtle act of reclamation, she named herself Nadia, the feminine form of “nadie” which means “nobody” in Spanish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/7acca5a5-a134-4b9f-9d96-74fe5407e832/chl-102+copy.jpg galleries - 2018 (photo by Caroline Lacey) Nadia (Javier Ramírez), a drag queen, rides the 30B bus in San Salvador, El Salvador on October 30, 2017.

My grandpa was born in mainland China and lived there until the age of 16. He lived a privileged life free from worries until 1949 when the Government of the Republic of China retreated to Taiwan ahead of the advancing Chinese Communist Party. My grandfather fled alone to Taiwan hoping one day he would see his family again. He built his life there as an educator. Decades passed but he was never able to see his parents, grandparents, and other elders again before they died. Seeing him in the last stages of his life signals to me the end of an era. Suprapti is also displaced. She left her husband and two-year-old daughter behind in Indonesia to find a better salary to support them. She has been caring for my grandpa for more than two years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/a4c96286-81b0-4660-884e-ba3edd550dca/1276140_SSR_CovidCrisis_Sanwaree+Sethi+Robinson_01ssrCO4.jpg galleries - 2021 (photo by Sanwaree Sethi Robinson) Arlo (age 2), in early quarantine, when playgrounds were still off limits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/8f0c6c3c-27d3-4171-9bef-7c8fe4aa796a/1294252_CAG_PoliticsPro+LARGE+FILE_CarolGuzy.JPG galleries - 2021 (photo by Carol Guzy/ZUMA Press) A politically divisive year resulted in a deadly insurrection as supporters of President Donald Trump breach the U.S. Capitol while election results are to be certified in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/5cabef65-f4db-475d-b633-b8377ceb4784/6421733_AV_PoliticsPro_AmandaVoisard_insurrection_highres.jpg galleries - 2021 (photo by Amanda Voisard/for The Washington Post) Congressional staff members are evacuated by the Capitol Police after rioters breached the Capitol interrupting the certification of the Electoral College votes by Congress, in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, January 6, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ff9ff3648c5c72a72a8f3f/c87d335e-4325-4e99-9c58-9db8ef6301fa/1294663_CDC_RacialEquityStudent_CandaceChambers_02CDCPO4+copy.jpg galleries - 2021 (photo by Candace Chambers) Trump supporters rail against counter-protestors outside the Supreme Court on November 14th, 2020.
