Abbie Trayler-Smith – Afghan Boxers
Commissioned by Oxfam, Abbie photographs Afghanistan’s first women’s boxing teams, the Afghan Amateur Women’s Boxing Association.
“Afghan women are brave,’ says Saber Sharifi, coach of Afghanistan’s first female boxing team. ‘Some people say it is very dangerous for girls to do boxing. Others say Afghanistan is not ready for this. These girls are proving those people wrong.”
