Unsung HERoes

Project 1 | Project 2 | Project 3 | About

Through my relationship with Mo and Northern Ireland, I found TWN in Belfast over 5 years ago. It was through TWN’s work in the community that I found a home, amongst many more inspirational women who were doing what I had always been shown by Mo to be the ‘most important work’. This network of support is invaluable to so many women, and they, in turn, became invaluable to me. I felt somehow reconnected with the women I had grown up seeing at my kitchen table, confiding in Mo.

I was reminded of my younger self, who had truly believed in the power and strength of the women around me. I’d assumed somewhat naively that this power and fortitude would be recognised by modern society in my future world.

TWN understands that training women in the skills they need to realise their potential provides them with the invaluable tools to be able to escape the confines of societal chains and free themselves from unsafe environments. It creates a sense of purpose and independence that so many women are never given access to. It has been inspirational and an enormous privilege to listen to and compile this archive of stories and portraits.
