Posted @withregram • @worldpressphoto Kifoula in the woods near the coastline of the English channel. Kifoula came to Normandy, France, from Brazzaville after the civil war in Congo and currently performs in several theatre and dance companies in Normandy. 27 June 2021.⁣ ⁣ “Kifoula told me that he was concerned that a lot of people who managed to get to Europe from African countries were losing, or even rejecting, their roots. He believes that founding a local community of fellow countrymen can help to preserve their native culture, and language, even when far away from their homeland.” — Alisa Martynova⁣ ⁣ From ‘Where the Sons of Eternity Singing,’ a project made during Alisa Martynova’s residency program ‘Tremplins Jeunes Talents' at the festival Planches Contact in Deauville, France, as a continuation of her research on African migration.⁣ ⁣ Alisa Martynova (@alisamartynova_) is a Russian photographer currently based in Florence, Italy.

Posted @withregram • @worldpressphoto Mahamadou is half-Senegalese, half-Gambian and fled his country as a refugee after taking part in a university demonstration. He lives and works around Florence, Italy, on a long-term contract. 6 June 2020.⁣ ⁣ More than one million immigrants from Africa officially reside in Italy, as well as an unknown number of undocumented migrants, many of whom have made a perilous and often life-threatening journey to get there. The photographer compares migrants in Italy to scattered stars, a constellation of young people from different countries, of different genders, and with different traits. They have all come to Italy for different personal reasons and are celebrated for their individual stories, in a way that tries to resist stereotyping of African migrants. A 2016 study by the International Organization of Migrants pointed to insecurity, conflict, and discrimination as the main drivers of migration, not solely economic and work reasons. Discrimination on the basis of social group, religion, or sexual orientation was mentioned by almost half of the study group. In October 2020, the Italian government adopted a decree overturning many of the anti-immigration policies introduced by the previous interior minister Matteo Salvini, leader of the right-wing Lega Nord (Northern League).⁣ ⁣ Alisa Martynova (@alisamartynova_) is a Russian photographer currently based in Florence, Italy.

Posted @withregram • @worldpressphoto Ear tags are used to identify the origin of the animals and are part of the traceability system required by the Ministry of Agriculture. Navarra, Spain, November 2016.⁣ ⁣ Regardless of size, the quality of facilities and equipment, or the advances made in the mechanization of the process of killing, slaughterhouses represent one of the largest and most systematic forms of violence against animals, even when the rules that regulate the process are respected.⁣ ⁣ Stunning methods are subject to the animal's resistance and the skill of the employees, and are not always effective. The result is that many animals will suffer whether these procedures are effectively applied or not.⁣ ⁣ These photographs were taken in an undercover investigation that photographer Aitor Garmendia carried out in 16 slaughterhouses in Spain, in cooperation with the animal rights organization NOR.

Posted @withregram • @worldpressphoto Trigger warning: animal abuse⁣ Due to its low cost and easy functioning, the captive bolt device is probably the most widespread stunning method in the world. It is used for cows, pigs, sheep, goats, and horses. Quite frequently, cows resist entering the stunning box, so they receive electric discharges. They shake their heads and move nervously back and forth once in it. Hitting the target of a shot with the accuracy demanded by animal welfare standards is quite a difficult task, and sometimes the procedure must be repeated.

Reposted from @worldpressphoto The body of a suspected coronavirus victim, wrapped in yellow infectious-waste plastic, lies awaiting a body bag, in a hospital in Indonesia, on 18 April 2020.⁣ ⁣ ‘The Human Cost of COVID-19’ by Joshua Irwandi (@joshirwandi), Indonesia, is one of three nominees in the ‘General News, singles’ category of the 2021 World Press Photo Contest, reporting on news topics and their aftermaths.⁣ ⁣ Nurses wound plastic around the body and sprayed it with disinfectant, in accordance with Indonesian government protocols. These protocols required COVID-19 victims to be wrapped in plastic and buried quickly to prevent the virus spreading. This meant grieving relatives were unable to follow Muslim funeral practices, which include personally washing the dead and wrapping the corpse in a seamless cloth. The World Health Organisation advised against the use of disinfectant and recommended wrapping bodies in cloth. The potential risk of transmission related to the handling of bodies of COVID-19 victims is considered low, provided that it is carried out by trained medical staff wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).⁣ ⁣ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ The 2021 Photo Contest & 2021 Digital Storytelling Contest nominees have been announced. We’re sharing the nominated photos, selected from 74,470 images by 4,315 photographers from 130 countries.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Discover the stories that matter, chosen by an independent jury of photography and digital storytelling professionals by following the link in our bio.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ The winners will be announced on 15 April as part of the World Press Photo Festival 2021.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #WPPh2021 #worldpressphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CM4ckFMnhj5/?igshid=f2orjv8fblqw
