EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Lai Seng Sin, we witness the resilience and strength of a young Rohingya child bride who has escaped from her husband. The photograph depicts a solemn moment as she carries her sister outside their modest shack on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The girl's face remains unrecognizable, hidden in the shadows, but her determination is palpable. Despite facing unimaginable challenges at such a tender age, she stands tall against adversity. Her body language speaks volumes about the bond between siblings and the responsibility she feels towards protecting her loved ones. As sunlight filters through laundry hanging nearby, it creates an ethereal atmosphere that adds depth to the composition. The creative use of light highlights not only their physical presence but also symbolizes hope amidst difficult circumstances. This poignant snapshot serves as a reminder of the plight faced by many Rohingya refugees who have fled persecution in Myanmar. It sheds light on issues such as child marriage and displacement that continue to affect vulnerable communities around the world. Through this photograph, Lai Seng Sin captures not just an individual story but also represents countless others who endure similar struggles. It prompts us to reflect upon our collective responsibility towards ensuring every child's right to safety, education, and a brighter future regardless of their background or circumstances.
