A different image: Palestinian women band together in photo exhibition
Bethlehem's Sabrein Zeidan broke through as a photographer in a largely male-dominated profession. Now she's focusing her lens on other Palestinian women challenging gender stereotypes.
The exhibition has been launched in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, Palestine.
Some in Middle Eastern societies see women’s participation in the workforce, especially in politics and art, as a threat to generations-old traditions.
Sabrein Zeidan, a woman in the occupied West Bank, is using her camera to change this perception.
She captures scenes of Palestinian women in the workforce, challenging stereotypes in male-dominated professions.
“Photography is known to be a man's profession, but that is not true. The Palestinian woman is capable of doing it as well,” Zeidan says.
