migration
The world is fast becoming a space where millions of people are either forced to migrate to seek work that is not available in their regions or into exile for their political views, to escape from armed conflicts or from environmental disasters related to the relentless pace of climate change
Through their resilience, their aspire to retain their dignity against tremendous odds. They are abused and manipulated by unscrupulous smugglers and ruthless militias, but hope is provided by the legion of volunteers and NGOs who give them practical help and spiritual comfort in their time of need.
I have been working for the main agencies that support the plight of refugees and migrants for many years, providing visual material for their campaigning and publicity efforts.
