BANISHED, Northern Region, Ghana - 2024
by Claire Thomas

Fusheina, a widow and mother of five, returns to the hut where she has lived in exile for six years. She is one of hundreds of women in northern Ghana accused of witchcraft, often by their own families or communities, and forced to seek refuge in so-called “witch camps.” These women are not there by choice: most flee or are sent away because to remain in their villages would mean risking their lives. Accusations of witchcraft exist beyond the reach of formal law yet are deeply entangled with social and structural inequality. They often arise from personal disputes, jealousy, or local misfortunes, and are almost always gendered.

“Visibility carries weight.”

In our new, exclusive Representation Matters interview, photographer Claire Thomas reflects on visual justice, ethical representation & the responsibilities of images.

An image by Jenny Bautista Media from the This is Gender Collection. In the cinematic black-and-white image, Isa and Tavo, an older couple who both live with disabilities, embrace tenderly in their underwear. Their faces are pressed together in quiet intimacy, eyes closed, smiling, entirely absorbed in each other. A wheelchair sits nearby. The image captures a moment of uninhibited affection.

A black-and-white digital artwork by Hardeep Singh titled “Fragmented Faces”, featuring repeated, stylised male-presenting faces with moustaches, partially obscured or overlaid by abstract symbols, disjointed lines, stitched textures, and hand motifs. Each face is divided, layered, or incomplete, evoking fragmentation and fluidity. The hand shapes—some with padlock icons—suggest both communication in sign language and restriction. The composition blends portraiture with textile-like repetition, reflecting Deaf and gender-nonconforming identities and the tension between resilience and erasure.

🏆 WINNER: ‘Fragmented Faces’ by Hardeep Singh uses sign language-inspired gestures and abstract forms to explore #Deaf and gendered identity. A powerful meditation on how the body becomes a medium of meaning.

A blind woman with white hair reaches up to touch the face of an ancient Egyptian sculpture during a multisensory museum tour. Her hands, lit softly against the dark background, are central to the image – delicate and expressive, they appear to navigate the contours of the sculpture with care and intent.

Justice isn’t neutral. The law protects some, punishes others.

What if legal systems centred care, dignity & equity for all?

Now is your chance to bear witness to injustice & envision what a truly just world could look like.

Graphic promoting Global 50/50’s “This is Gender: Law & Justice” photography open call 2025. The image features a stylised, grainy portrait of Ryan, a 24-year-old Ugandan refugee living in Kenya. Ryan is depicted with a luminous green wig and pink petals covering his eyes, symbolising concealment and fragility. His bare torso is bathed in red light, and his face is partially obscured by abstract red blocks. A white box with bold black and red text reads: “THIS IS GENDER – LAW & JUSTICE.” Below: “Photography Open Call 2025 – Enter Now”. The image reflects Ryan’s experience of forced anonymity and the threat of violence due to his sexuality.

#ThisisGender invites you to confront injustice & reimagine a more equal future through powerful imagery. 📢

Let your #photography be your resistance, capturing the tension between power and protest, #law and lived experience.

Two women among towering piles of synthetic materials, sorting through sheets of plastic with their gloved hands. Their faces and clothing are dusted in white particles, blending them into their surroundings like ghostly figures—an eerie foreshadowing of the risks they face working without adequate protection. One woman, wearing a sheer plastic apron and a head covering, looks down intently, focused on her task. The other, draped in a pink shawl, gazes outward, her expression weary yet resolute.

A #ThisisGender 2023 winning image by Debdatta Chakraborty, captures women working with synthetic materials—aware of the risks but with few alternatives. A stark reminder of how inequality shapes health & livelihoods.
