I made a few slideshows for Cause of death: woman containing Linda Forsells great images. James Fahy aka ambienteer were kind enough to let me use his music for the project. I´ve been a fan of his ambient music for a long time and it´s been great to use his music here. Check out more of his music at his bandcamp site.

About the project

Cause of Death: Woman is an investigative report on violence against women. One in three women around the world is subjected to physical, sexual or some other form of violence during her lifetime. Between 2010 and 2012 we examined the situation in ten countries. In each country we met women who had survived violence and people working for change. With the help of relatives we were also able to tell the story of a woman who had been killed. You can see the result at www.causeofdeathwoman.net, where you will find 150 articles from all over the world. You can also download course material and a Do-It-Yourself exhibition.

The project is the work of Karin Alfredsson, Linda Forsell and Kerstin Weigl together with the Swedish Association of Women’s Shelters and Young Women’s Empowerment Centres,SKR.  Funding was received from, among others, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and the Sigrid Rausing Trust.

The countries which are included in the project are the US, South Africa, Egypt, Sweden, Pakistan, Mexico, Brazil, Congo, Spain and Russia.

Cause Of Death: Woman – USA from SKR on Vimeo.

Cause of Death: Woman är en journalistisk granskning av våld mot kvinnor. En av tre kvinnor världen över utsätts för fysiskt, sexuellt eller annan typ av våld under sin livstid. Mellan 2010 och 2012 undersökte vi situationen i tio länder. I varje land träffade vi de som överlevt våldet och de som arbetar för förändring. Med hjälp av anhöriga kunde vi också berätta en dödad kvinnas historia. På www.causeofdeathwoman.com kan du ta del av resultatet. Här finns 150 reportage från USA, Sydafrika, Egypten, Sverige, Pakistan, Mexiko, Brasilien, Kongo, Spanien och Ryssland. Du kan också ladda ned vårt kursmaterial och gör det själv-utställning.

 

Cause of Death: Woman ägs av Sveriges Kvinno- och Tjejjourers Riksförbund (SKR). Bland bidragsgivarna finns Sida och Sigrid Rausing Trust.

Grand Central Station is a place to hang around. Love its architecture and the massive amounts of people hustling by.

Fifth Avenue were filled with people from South America. Parading, playing music, celebrating. A touch of the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro.
