Resilient and impassioned, South Asia’s youth are paving bold new pathways for themselves and future generations. Through this photography project, we documented the real perspectives and aspirations of young people across South Asia. We worked with inspiring individuals such as Neeshan, who defies convention everyday though her work in the male dominated world of construction. Despite the obstacles, Neeshan is determined to defy gender stereotypes and become a Civil Engineer. Neeshan’s photo essay is part of a series of stories, highlighting the work UNICEF is doing to bridge the gap between education and employment.
