assignment DETAILS
This Assignment takes place in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, the second-largest city in Rajasthan. This city has a rich history, and like many others in India, has been largely impacted by British imperialism, which is part of a tapestry of reasons why women and girls have been subjugated not only based on gender, but also based on caste, religion and status. This Assignment will focus on the stories of a few of the women who take part in the program, and to document the various aspects of their lives. The best times of year to make the best of this impact is between October and March. During these times there are 2 big festivals (Diwali and Holi), which will may support visual impact.
Impact GOALS
The Community Partner’s wish is to be able to continue supporting cohorts of women and girls in their programming by using the images and stories to generate funding.
