Power in Perseverance is an interactive photobook that brings to life the entrepreneurial journeys of Yemeni women through powerful visuals and compelling storytelling. Against the backdrop of conflict and economic fragility, this collection reveals how women across Yemen are not only surviving but innovating, transforming necessity into opportunity, and adversity into action. Each photograph captures a moment of courage, creativity, and quiet determination.
The photobook showcases the stories of 20 women who have defied odds to establish and grow businesses in some of the most challenging environments. From home-based kitchens to engineering offices, fashion studios to sewing workshops, these women have adapted with ingenuity and grit, building livelihoods, supporting families, and contributing to their communities. Many have had to navigate limited access to capital, market uncertainty, and deep-rooted gender norms, yet their resilience has allowed them to carve a space for themselves in both the economy and household decision-making. Complementing the photobook, the accompanying report offers deeper insight into the economic, social, and personal dimensions of their journeys.
