Photography has always been a beacon of hope in shedding light on the wrongdoings in the world. Visual narratives have been instrumental in bringing change, especially if they are documented by those belonging to marginalized or discriminated communities.

A prime example of this is the works of four Rohingya photographers—Abdullah Habib, Sahat Zia Hero, Shahida Win, and Mohammed Salim Khan—who won the Nansen Refugee Award. Organized by the United Nations the accolade distinguishes individuals who work to protect refugees, displaced people, and stateless people. In this article, we are here to remind our readers of the plight of the community and how photography is one of the ways to amplify the unheard Rohingya voices.  . thephoblographer.com
