Hagar International

Since 1994, Hagar International (http://hagarinternational.org/hong-kong/) has helped over 15,000 women and child survivors of human rights abuse in Cambodia, Vietnam and Afghanistan. Hagar serves women who face the very worst of human conditions; the 2% of survivors that other organizations are simply not equipped help. Through holistic, intensive, and sustained care, Hagar walks the entire journey of restoration with each survivor by preparing them to integrate back into society as resilient, confident individuals who have the skills and education to be financially independent.

 Women Who Shine

“Women Who Shine” is a photography book series borne out of the creativity and passion of Hong Kong-based husband and wife team, Caroline Sze of Seasoning and Rico Tsui of An Ant Capture. The pair have been identifying different women around them as muses to style and photograph, to capture their individual beauty. Caroline and Rico believe that a woman’s self-confidence and inner joy are the essence of her beauty that shines through. When Caroline and Rico learned about Hagar’s work in Cambodia, they became inspired by the women survivors and their stories of perseverance and strength. Thus, the next installment of “Women Who Shine” was born.
