Photo Essay: Barbara Davidson 
I greatly appreciate the paintings of Los Angeles Times photojournalist Barbara Davidson so it's miles usually a pleasure to proportion her paintings on Photojournalism Now.
Her present day tale is set girls as young as 12 years who have been saved from prostitution in Bihar, the poorest nation in India.
Davidson again can provide an evocative visual essay that indicates how one school near the India/Nepal border is working to give those women a brighter destiny.
Many of these girls were destined to end up prostitutes in makeshift brothels installation within the own family home, or to be offered as intercourse slaves.
The faculty, that's funded by means of Apne Aap and the Bihar nation authorities, ?Aims to break the bonds of caste and inequality?.

Back Story: Ryuichi Hirokawa
?Palestinians made me a photojournalist,? Ryuichi Hirokawa
Perhaps nowadays he is excellent called the founding father of the mag Days Japan, but as a younger university graduate, Japanese photojournalist Ryuichi Hirokawa became enamoured with the concept of living in a kibbutz so in 1967 he travelled to Israel.
He became waiting for to find paradise, but as a substitute he arrived in a time of exquisite turmoil and now not long after the Six Day War erupted.
That trip changed into to form Hirokawa?S future in a way he couldn?T assume.
Fascinated with the ruins of an antique Palestinian village that he located near the kibbutz he become residing in, Hirokawa inadvertently started to discover the records of the Palestinian plight.
This story has occupied him for extra forty years ensuing in an in depth body of work that includes images, the documentary film Palestine 1948 Nakba and oral histories.
Hirokawa made his call as a photojournalist along with his coverage of the massacre inside the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila in 1982 in Lebanon.
One of the first journalists to go into the camps, Hirokawa?S 8mm pictures released his career, but through that point he changed into already invested in the Palestinian tale.
To date Hirokawa has researched and documented the histories of round 500 villages that have vanished.
He has also set up a charity, the Japanese Committee for the Children of Palestine, which increases finances to care for orphans and to construct kindergartens.
