A Thousand Words: Hewlett Foundation Imagery Projects

The Images of Empowerment are 1,500 high-quality, editorial images that show powerful, positive representations of women’s work and family lives in 10 countries around the world. The Hewlett Foundation commissioned Getty Images to create and launch the collection in 2015; the David and Lucile Packard Foundation added hundreds of additional photos in 2018. The images show the connections between women’s work, their families, and access to reproductive health care information and services in Colombia, Ghana, India, Kenya, Peru, Senegal, South Africa, Thailand, Uganda, and the United States.

All of the photographs are at imagesofempowerment.org. They are available — free of charge — for nonprofits to use under Creative Commons licensing and for paid licensing to Getty Images’ news and editorial customers.

The Hewlett Foundation partnered with OpenIDEO on the Cyber Visuals Challenge to help move the state of cyber imagery beyond the tired hackers-in-hoodies visual clichés that fill stock image libraries. Talented artists, graphic designers, and visual creators from around the world worked with a group of cybersecurity experts to create images that make for newer richer, and more inclusive visuals for cybersecurity.
