A nationwide mobile photo campaign to show what peace looks like when women rise, protect, lead, and rebuild.
💬 What is this campaign about?
In October 2025, we mark the 25th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (WPS), which recognizes the crucial role women play in conflict prevention, peacebuilding, protection, and recovery.

📸 Tips for taking a good photo with your mobile phone
Hold your phone horizontally (landscape). Make sure the photo is at least 3 MB in size.
Clean the lens before taking the photo to ensure clarity.
Avoid using flash – natural daylight is best. Outdoor photos usually look better.
Stand 1 to 3 meters away from your subject, holding the phone at eye level, directly facing them.
For portrait pictures: Use a simple background, take a half-body shot (waist up), and ask the person to look straight at the camera.
For action pictures: Avoid standing directly in front. Shoot from slightly above, below, or to the side to show depth and movement.
Do not crop, edit, or apply filters – our team will handle any editing later.
