It was only in 2005 when she met civil society activists that she realized that the culture of discrimination in her village against her caste was tied up with their jobs and only means of survival.” Once I realized I was actually a slave I couldn't do the work any more”, she says. The following year she stood for elections from her ward and despite being offered a bribe of land or INR 2,00,000 in cash, fought the elections and won by a huge margin. She has managed to get all but four families in her village from the haila community government sponsored housing. Ironically, she is one of the four still waiting.[Photo: Ishan Tankha/UNDP India, Jan Sahas]

Between 2011 and 2016, more than 33,300 Africans lost their lives to violent extremism. The growth of violent extremism has set in motion a dramatic reversal of development gains in Africa, and is also threatening to stunt prospects of development for years to come. Africa bears the brunt of the impact of terrorism in lives lost, economies ruined and relationships fractured. Extremists target public spaces such as markets and bus stations, forcing people to make a choice between risking death by going to work, or risking the very survival of their families.
In response, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Africa has developed a strategy to prevent and respond to violent extremism through a development lens.
In the photo exhibition, “Stories of Survivors,” the UNDP and photographer Malin Fezehai seek to shed light on and amplify the voices of those who often suffer in silence. Theirs are stories of resilience, perseverance and the triumph of humanity, as they rebuild their lives again. The survivors’ diverse religious, ethnic and national backgrounds highlight that violent extremism is a shared burden, and one that humanity, as a whole, must respond to.
