The photographic exhibition “Investing in Women and Girls” is meant to show how, by empowering women worldwide, they can become a most effective and positive force to reshape the globe. This exhibition is the result of the work of international documentary and street photographers participating in the Sixth edition of the International Photo Competition organized by Colors of Life, in conjunction with The World Bank, to accompany its annual Law, Justice and Development Week Conference, opening at The World Bank headquarters in Washington, DC on December 10, 2012.
