Unsung Heroes: Denis Rouvre, France; 2nd place, Portraiture. “Unsung Heroes is a project about violence against women around the world. The women agreed to testify, their faces uncovered, in front of my camera. Some subjects had suffered violence linked to displacement following the wars in Syria and in Colombia, others had survived domestic abuse, or the use of collective rape as a weapon in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I wanted to show the suffering experienced by these women, but also their strength and resilience – in short, their ability to get up and fight again”.
