FLORENCE, ITALY – Women’s experiences of the migrant and asylum seeker crisis in Europe and the Middle East are the focus of a new photo exhibition that opened in Florence on Thursday May 6, 2016.

Women on the March is a display of more than 30 images captured by ANSA news agency photographers, which portray the emotional struggles of women refugees and asylum seekers. From periods of waiting, they lead on to situations of fear, but also moments of hope and happiness.

Running until May 10, the exhibition at the Strozzi Palace has been set up to mark the so-called State of the Union meeting organised by the European University Institute, which gathers leading European Union figures for conferences and debates. The focus this year is on women.
