Member organisations of the Maseru working group collaborated with
Inkanyiso
, a South African queer media and activism organisation, to co-facilitate a photography and creative writing workshop for young women. The aim of the Rutanang project was to produce a body of visual and written work on the topic of violence against women and vulnerable groups. The workshop gave participants a platform to talk about their lives, society, and environment while also providing an opportunity for them to gain practical transferrable skills in photography, videography and writing.
