Who Doesn’t Love a Challenge?
The raw reality of feminist resistance
This third special issue of We See magazine strips away NGO platitudes to reveal the unvarnished truth of grassroots activism. Part of the WeLens project documenting gender-based violence across borders, this collection offers:
-
Maggy Dago’s powerful photo essay on Togolese women creating economic solutions through collective savings
-
Unfiltered testimonies from organisers balancing mental health, hostile political environments, migration and resistance
-
Critical examinations of how those at the margins are often failed by the state and social systems
- And many more stories of women accepting and pushing back life’s challenges
With fragmented narratives and stark imagery, these pieces reject polished advocacy speak. What emerges is a rare document of feminist labour – exhausted but enduring, frustrated but refusing to quit.
This isn’t feel-good activism. It’s solidarity in truth-telling.
