Cameras For Girls, a Canadian registered charity, pursues Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality in Africa using photography as our catalyst. We provide women who face gender-based barriers to employment with a camera to keep and a 4-phase photography, storytelling, and business skills curriculum to support their goals of becoming paid journalists and photographers in male-dominated spaces.Our students predominantly come from theory-based journalism programs and may lack the critical skills needed to excel in practical settings. We aim to eliminate gender-based obstacles, such as the lack of access to a camera, which often hinders employment opportunities for women in the media field. By fostering a supportive environment, we empower women to thrive, share their unique perspectives, and contribute meaningfully to the industry.
