19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Battling Alone

Two women distanced theirselves from their families, they sat in the water and start talking to each other. As you know Hijab is mandatory in Iran and women can not wear bikini anywhere. In my country patriarchy is something that every woman has encountered during her life. I wanted to show that women are alone in their battles with society and men in our society wont help them at all.
