This week, the Framing Photojournalism School hosted a photo exhibition aimed at enhancing female representation in the media.

Titled “Khatun,” the event commenced with a discussion on the significance of women in media and their inclusion in decision-making roles.

In collaboration with Swedish photographers, the school conducted a workshop to train Kurdish and Iraqi women as photojournalists, marking a significant step towards increasing their presence in the media industry.
