Refugee women's bravery reflected in Cork photography exhibition 

Rohingya refugee Minara moved to Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh six years ago. Now, she works as a site management volunteer and lifeguard and earns a monthly salary, which not only supports her to put food on the table but is enough to send her daughter to school. Picture: Fabeha Monir. 

Faces bathed in light, their bright, resilient smiles belying the darkness they’ve had to battle to survive, are captured in a new photography exhibition in Cork on female refugees and their leadership.

‘Women by Women,’ a free exhibition is running in Nano Nagle place from Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm, until the end of May.
