Collateral Damage:

'Unintentional or incidental injury or damage to persons or objects that would not be lawful military targets in the circumstances ruling at the time. Such damage is not unlawful as long as it is not excessive in light of the overall military advantage anticipated from the attack.'
           - US State Department for Defense.

Long after the peace has been brokered, conflicts continue to exact a disproportionate impact on women. These images, taken in different conflicts around the world, not only demonstrate the lasting legacy of conflict, but highlight the consistent trend of inequality and discrimination that feeds conflict and undermines our responses to it.
