Who Needs Feminism? Nottingham Trent: Nasim (pictured) says: 'I found out about my Mum's genital mutilation from my Nan. I was quite shocked – and relieved that my Mum was more of a liberal'

'There's a taboo around feminism [as a student in the UK]. I think there's a need to spread the word about what feminism means. We're not all about women – we're about equality for men and women'

Lydia Sawyer explains why the photo was taken: 'At Nottingham Trent University, we are trying to start a new Femsoc [feminist society] and our first event was a Who Needs Feminism? shoot in Market Square. We had many people from the university and others who had seen the event advertised on Facebook. This is one of many powerful, meaningful and witty photos we took on the day'
