Photographer Ovidiu Tataru has been in Gaza for nine months working with Doctors Without Borders, and has created a series of photos with women dressed in a superhero cape. "I wanted to give a voice to all the women in Gaza, genuine heroes living in a very difficult context: high unemployment rates, war, limited women rights and dramatic gender inequalities," he says. "I also wanted to get rid of stereotypical images of Gaza reality (destroyed buildings, poor people etc) and to take photos of women laughing, because despite all odds there is hope for peace and a better life." This photo shows Amal, who lives in Beit Lahia - one of the most affected areas of the war. She is proud to have three children studying at university. Picture: Ovidiu Tataru
