Just Zine
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.

West London Zine
West London Zine is a Photojournalism Hub ambitious programme that provides practical opportunities and media experience and training for youths (16+).
The project enables participants, under the guidance of a media professional facilitator, to work on their own journalistic and photo stories which are then published to produce an online zine covering local news.
The project provides the invaluable opportunity to publish own work, generate content for a working Portfolio and receive practical guidance and mentorship. The outcome will leave the participants with a body of published work that can assist them in accessing further education and/or work placements.
The project will equip the participants with:
Reporting Skills
Photography
Editorial Skills
Digital publishing

JUSTZINE ISSUE 5
The fifth issue of JustZine magazine presents photo stories and articles that cover pressing and important social justice issues from Environmental and Climate justice, to stigma surrounding women periods. Contributors have shared articles on cyber bullying, chronic fatigue, environmental justice movement and an informative piece on racism and a lot more. Once again, the content engages with often challenging and difficult, albeit very relevant thematic. I am very proud for the commitment, talent and drive demonstrated by the participants of the ‘Youth Zine West’ project run by the Photojournalism Hub, who produced this issue. I would like to renew my thanks to our founder the Mayor of London and the Culture Seeds team.

JUST ZINE ISSUE 3
JUST ZINE magazine issue 3 focuses on homelessness in a Covid-19 world as we understand that the pandemic has worsened an already widespread issue. It touches on the different forms homelessness can take from life on the streets, to insecure housing and now, to temporary residence in hotels thanks to the Government’s public health initiative to get people off the streets to reduce the spread of the virus. Contributors have also shared an extract from a children story on homelessness and a touching and powerful personal story on homelessness. Furthermore they shared a photo story on the reopening of non-essential shops and the merging of DfID and the UK Foreign Office and the potential implications on foreign aid as a result of this merger. Once again I would like to thank the hard-working and very talented group of participants in the Youth Zine West project, run by the Photojournalism Hub, who produced this issue and as always, I thank our founder the Mayor of London, Culture Seeds.

This issue has a number of articles and photo stories following the Black Lives Matter demonstrations in London, helpful resources and compelling portraits of key workers that have not stopped working during the lockdown. This issue also has a special report on mental health. I would like to thank the talent and dedication of the participants in producing Just Zine magazine, part of the Youth Zine West project run by the Photojournalism Hub, and to our funder the Mayor of London, Culture Seeds.
