Women and War: "Points of View"
To mark this year's International Women's Day, we invited ICRC staff in Geneva to reflect on an array of photographs highlighting the theme of Women and War. The photo collection "Points of View" presents a series of 19 pictures taken by a variety of photographers worldwide and accompanied by a selection of personal observations.

"What is always difficult for people who find themselves in these camps, are the things that are private like toilets and washing. To find that you have to share with so many other people that you don't know is very difficult. They are already uprooted from their normal lives. Life is hard. And on top of this they must share something that is really personal. It's very hard."

Valérie Meilhaud, water engineer
