Unseen Faces, Unheard Voices: Portraits of Injustice documents through photographs and words the lives of the poorest of the poor living in poverty-stricken Asia: principally in Afganistan, Cambodia, Nepal, and Pakistan. It is a collection of 129 photos of abject poverty, of the lives of those who live outside the protective framework of the state, those who are denied the opportunity for living safe, secure, and satisfying lives. But Unseen Faces, Unheard Voices is much more than that. More importantly perhaps, it illuminates the often unrecognized beauty of the people living in adversity: their resilience and strength and human dignity. Many of the photographs and accompanying narratives feature women and children, so often the victims of social injustice. These photos call out for our sympathy and compassion; they cause us to reflect on the meaning of justice and social fairness and inspire each one of us to reflect on what can be done to build fairer societies. The book is a compassionate cry for more humane societies that embrace even the poorest of the poor. It is a cry that cannot be ignored. The core message is about the transformative power of education to provide opportunity – particularly for girls – and to show the viewer how easily each of us can improve the lives of others.
