I want to show that through my work,? says Tahia Farhin Haque (@tahiafarhin), one of the photographers who took part in ?This is 18,? a project from The New York Times (@nytgender). This is 18? is about showing what girls go through all over the world when they turn 18 ? being 18 is a crucial stage for all of us,? says 22-year-old Tahia, who studies biochemistry and biotechnology in Dhaka, Bangladesh. ?I hope to give voice to the issues that are unheard and unseen in the world. I would like to make people question their perceptions and the paradigms. I work towards a goal to shatter traditional stereotypes about women in order to bring their unique perspectives to the forefront.? Watch today?s story to see more from Tahia.
