Rebecca Robyns - Human Rights Photojournalist

Today is a dark day for Women's Rights.
Women will still have abortions and more will die as a consequence of having to seek dangerously unsafe alternatives.

"Imagine a gender-equal world"
International Women's Day 2022.
Today, (and every day), I celebrate women like Marea Verde Quintana Roo for their bravery and fight for Women’s Reproductive Rights in Mexico.💚💜💚💜

Good Luck to my fellow graduates from London College of Communication which is part of UAL: University of the Arts London. Tonight is the launch night of their three-day exhibition and I’m excited to be showing a short film that I made as part of my Major Project which documents the lives of brave young women who fight for the right to decide what happens to their bodies and their Reproductive Rights. If you’re in London pop in!
Meanwhile, I’m in Mexico where the story continues💜💚.

Thrilled to be working with The jfa Human Rights Journal on this piece - The Right to Decide. It has been a real honour to photograph the courageous women of Marea Verde Quintana Roo over this past year. Special thanks to Yunitzilim R. Pedraza for taking part in the interview.
