Women By Women 2025
Women By Women is a photography exhibition from ActionAid UK that celebrates women both in front of and behind the camera.
In this stunning showcase, titled "Rooted in Resistance", women photographers capture the collective work of women who are fighting for their land and future.
Through deeply personal stories and striking imagery, Women By Women 2025 exposes the systemic inequalities that lead to women and girls losing their land rights.
Join us this October on London’s South Bank to support women and girls shattering stereotypes from behind and in front of the camera.
Thursday 9 to Sunday 12 October | Thursday 12:30-6pm | Friday-Sunday 11am-6pm
Oxo Gallery, Oxo Tower Wharf, Bargehouse Street, South Bank, London SE1 9PH
