Contemporary Issues

Not to be confused with Current Affairs, photographs in this category focus on those issues which form the basis of work by campaigners, NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) and charities, and which arouse support, sympathy, donations and action. Covering contemporary issues, they force us to take note of dramas and tragedies, wars and crises both abroad and close to home, a method of keeping the world’s ‘fortunates’ in tune with those in need of assistance or support. They can equally include a blocked canal causing polluted water to run through a village as the controversy over wind farms.
