Recently, Donald Trump threatened Nigeria if its leaders did not stop the violence against Christians. Back in 2013, I documented the war there and saw the tragic aftermath of violent attacks. There is little evidence that Christians are attacked more than other religious groups in Nigeria.#nigeria

Photo of the Day: On the set of The Veil Is Burning, a newlywed wife is gagged and killed by her in-laws, who are furious over the paltry dowry. Pakistan, 1998. Though such murders are now rare, the view that a married woman belongs exclusively to her husband's family has been slow to die.

Abridged: Stories For Change -- Ep 13 Ed Kashi & Julie Winokur
Photojournalist Ed Kashi and documentary filmmaker Julie Winokur have spent decades telling urgent, human stories — from climate injustice to ageing, migration, and forgotten coastlines. In this episode of From the Marginlands, Arati and Prem talk to them about the art of long-form storytelling, the patience it demands, and why bearing witness matters now more than ever.

Visual Riffs: Family Ties
I've had the privilege of photographing families across cultures, nationalities, races, and religions. I've witnessed deep love and goodness, but also tragedy, violence, neglect, and death. These photos represent the vast range of family ties.
