Visualising gender during the pandemic – in pictures

From transgender sex workers living in a mass shelter whose health relies on back-street clinics, to community leaders who are making changes from the ground up despite a system that is stacked against them, This Is Gender 2021 is the world's largest photography competition looking specifically at gender and health. The collection offers an insight into our gendered world during the time of pandemic.

• This Is Gender is run by Global Health 50/50 in parallel with the Global Health 5050 2021 Report, Flying Blind in a time of Crisis
