"Reporters without borders publish ' they change the India. 100 photos by freedom of the press."

A star of Bollywood surfing the Internet in full shooting, a neurologist at the Research Institute where she works, sewing cotton factories, dressed in police uniform or with the robe of the lawyers at the door of the Court. The women seem to lead the changes that are taking place in the India. Although many of these movements are not perceived by the eye of the traveler who, in a tourist short haul stays with images on the retina that are hard to forget as a corpse lying on a sidewalk in the face of general indifference. Poverty is enormous and abysmal differences but, surely, it is true that women bear the brunt if the head of State, Pratibha Patil, a woman. However, the important thing here is that there is a movement of Fund, headed by females that, politically, socially or artistically, start to move things on. In a clear homage to all those involved in the changes reporters without borders has edited them change the India 100 photos for the freedom of press.

To implement a project of this kind they signed six wonderful photographers from Magnum Photos: Martine Franck, Patrick Zachmann, Raghu Rai, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Alex Webb and Olivia Arthur spent several weeks in different parts of the India educating women to help them portray the changes that are taking place, in the largest democracy in the world. The chosen photographers, as well as excellent professionals, reflect very different styles. In the introduction, Laure Adler notes the strength of a few images in which runs away from the cliché of women imprisoned in the home. All portraits are taken in public spaces, the limits of the cities or the countryside. All of foot with the face turned to the photographer. They already move in administrations, in political assemblies, in schools, prisons...

The colorful album photographs were exhibited at the Petit Palace in Paris and will be there till January 8. This and other samples of RSF help to finance the activities of this organization and constitute 50% of their sources. Since a quarter-century ago reporters without borders advocates’ freedom of the press around the world, that freedom of inform feels threatened, or that a journalist or a photographer are attacked or imprisoned for carrying out their trade, this organization struggles to report what happened. There is nothing out of the freedom of the press.
