This is Gender: Law & Justice

Who gets to shape the law, and who is erased by it?
In a world shaped by shifting power and deep inequality, the law can be a tool of protection or a means of control. Justice is never neutral. It’s shaped by who is seen, who is silenced, and who is denied a voice. From feminist legal battles to grassroots resistance, This is Gender: Law & Justice calls for powerful visual storytelling that explores the intersections of gender, power, and the law across courtrooms, communities, and everyday life.
We’re calling for critical, creative, and courageous photography that expose hidden inequalities and challenge dominant systems. We encourage you to explore new perspectives on justice and to envision alternative futures founded on fairness, accountability, and transformation.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Submit photographs exploring:
Institutions – Who gets access to justice, and who is denied?
Spaces – Where does justice unfold: streets, courts, refugee camps?
Social norms – How is power enforced—or resisted—in families and communities?

Radical futures – What could justice look like in a truly equal world?
All photography styles are welcome, including documentary, portraiture, conceptual, experimental, and street photography.
