Islam Bibi in the gym, Afghanistan, 2012. Bibi, a mother of three, joined the police in a region of insurgency where women were often intimidated away from employment or roles outside the home. Alison Baskerville: “I met Islam Bibi several times. She was a police woman who very openly tried to encourage more women to join the police. She was assassinated by the Taliban [in 2013]. It was the starting point for my work as a photographer.“
‘You need to be both compassionate and resilient when working as a photographer, especially as we are living through what feels like a very polarised society.‘ Alison Baskerville.
