Finding the perfect image to illustrate your story can be a tricky task. There is a variety of free stock photo websites but finding high-quality images that suit the niche you work within can be a tiresome, long process.

The William and Flora Hewett foundation, David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and Getty Images have been working together over the past 7 years to create a bank of images focused around female empowerment based in 11 developing counties around the world. The images show women as active participants in their communities, accessing and providing quality reproductive health information and services and even advocating for better working conditions.
