The Photojournalism Hub Calendar 2026 showcasing the incredible work of photojournalists and documentary photographers who have contributed to our mission.
In this issue of ‘Just Zine’, we focus on domestic abuse, a deeply important and urgent issue affecting countless lives. The Covid-19 global outbreak and subsequent lockdown measures have left many women and men in vulnerable situations, some in dire need of support yet unable to reach out or be reached. Understanding the scale of this crisis continues to challenge governments, charities, and communities alike. Choosing to focus on domestic abuse was not an easy editorial decision.
The issue is complex, with many forms and dimensions of violence and control. As an editorial team, we do not claim to have all the answers, nor the ability to cover every aspect. However, through this issue, we offer a space for reflection, awareness, and empathy. Recognising and understanding the scale of this problem is itself a vital step forward. This issue of Just Zine stands as a remarkable testament to the commitment, sensitivity, and talent of our young team. Among its diverse and powerful content, you will find articles and photo stories exploring honour-based abuse, and experiences of both male and female survivors of violence. We also feature interviews with Marco Groves, CEO of the National Centre for Domestic Abuse, and poet Sir Troy Cabida.
The visual work in this issue spans from compelling photography of the Trans Rights protests in London to the deeply moving photo story “Missed Opportunities,” capturing a chance encounter with a victim of abuse. Additionally, we include children’s experiences of lockdown, creatively presented by two of our youngest contributors. Through their words and images, the contributors of Just Zine continue to raise awareness, spark dialogue, and inspire change.
A collection of social justice and human rights issue driven photographic prints supporting photojournalists and documentary photographers who courageously and truthfully work to effect change.

Young girl after school. Photo taken in Kenya, 2019. In many places, when Christmas holidays are over, girls are back to their homework routines, classes, and perhaps midterm exams. In some Kenyan villages, girls aged between 9-17 years old returning to school after the Christmas break means that they will be subjected to pregnancy tests and examined for female genital mutilation – FGM – by trained medical professionals in local schools and clinics. The tests have been put in place as many girls are forced to undergo FGM during the Christmas vacation, and pregnancies following it are not uncommon.

Bedik woman. Photo taken in Senegal 2016. The Bedik tribe lives in the south-eastern corner of Senegal, near the Guinean border and close to the headwaters of the Gambia River. They arrived at different times between the 11th and 19th centuries. The area remains remote and many of the cultural adaptations of the people, including their agro-pastoral, social, ritual and spiritual practices persist to this day.

Traditional celebration. Photo taken in Senegal 2017. Male circumcision is one of the oldest and most widespread surgical procedures in the world performed in pre-pubertal boys, adolescents or adults. In Senegal, male circumcision is considered essential for becoming a full member of society and it is a major festivity across the community with big celebrations for which men wear their traditional outfits.

Boats of shame. Photo taken in Canary islands, Spain, in 2021. In 2020/21, around 45,000 illegal immigrants from West Africa arrived by boat to the Canary Islands (Spain, EU). This route is the deadliest migratory path: 1 out of 20 migrants dies on the attempt to reach European soil. Poorly equipped boats travel distances of up to 1,500 kms. The engines break often, leaving the passengers adrift for days or weeks in which food and water run out. Frequently the occupants die during the crossing. Those who remain alive throw the corpses into the ocean to save on fuel. Ports on the Canary Islands are these days plagued with hundreds of these abandoned boats.

We don’t have any ambulances and during an emergency we need to walk to the nearest primary level hospital, which is very far from the camp.

Semiramis Like Beirut itself, the Semiramis building is falling into ruin. Built in the 1960s, it was a luxury building decorated with rich mosaics and statues of lions at the entrance. It used to host rich tourists from the Gulf in furnished flats. Today, the owners no longer want to maintain it. With the soaring devaluation of the Lebanese pound (which has lost 98% of its value in three years), they are now only receiving symbolic rents. They are therefore trying to evict the current tenants in order to resell the building or destroy it.
