Four young volunteers –  Md. Tajbit Ahammad Barat, Sumaia Akter, Md. Naimur Rahman Zihad and Rujina Begum – spent four months learning how to shoot pictures and documenting the lives of women and girls affected by last May's Cyclone Amphan in Bangladesh, with camera equipment and virtual training supplied by UNFPA and partner Concerned Women for Family Development (CWFD). A selection of photographs were used to raise awareness of community needs among the public. Here is what they saw through their lenses.
