"Two Years Capturing the Lives of Ukrainian Women Forced to Flee: A Photographer's Journey"

Photographer Polly Braden spent two years documenting the lives of women forced to leave Ukraine due to the ongoing war, resulting in an exhibition called "Leaving Ukraine" at the Foundling Museum in London. The project follows the stories of six women who fled to Moldova and other European countries, shedding light on their struggles to build new lives as refugees. Braden's intimate and collaborative approach captures tender moments and reflects the impact of the war on these women and their families, emphasizing the importance of understanding individual stories in shaping policies related to conflict and displacement.
