“Women in Asia and The Pacific” aims to shine a light on the role of women in Asia, highlighting their strength, diversity and impact on the continent. Visitors can among other photographers admire the works of Finnish photojournalist Rauli Virtanen, who has covered wars, conflicts and global events and has journeyed through all 193 UN member countries. His photos celebrate the triumphs and challenges of women.
Finland became the first country in the world to grant women full political rights in 1907. The country is still considered a frontrunner regarding equality and empowering women and girls worldwide.
