The IRC is working with writer, photographer and long-time women's advocate Ann Jones to help women in war zones — survivors of conflict, displacement and sexual and domestic violence — document their own lives with digital cameras and make their voices heard. The year-long project is called "A Global Crescendo: Women’s Voices from Conflict Zones." To learn more about Ann and the "Global Crescendo" project and read Ann's blog, visit theIRC.org/16days.
