Religion continues to play a significant role in shaping societies and public opinion, even among those who don’t follow a particular faith.

I captured this photo of a religious woman in Kyiv during the declaration of independence of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

A few days later, a major Russian news outlet used the same image to claim that the Ukrainian church had ceased to exist.

It’s a small example of how symbols and narratives are often caught in the middle of larger political and cultural disputes.

This photo is part of a project I worked on called Favela Kombat: Girls Fight Back, and it was truly something special to be part of. I spent time visiting different favelas across Rio de Janeiro, where I met women who had all faced some form of violence, loss, or struggle. What connected them was a powerful choice they made: they decided to fight back through Mixed Martial Arts.

Each of them had a dream. Some hoped to one day step into the UFC ring. Others simply wanted to feel strong again. In a place where opportunities are often scarce, they found strength in the rhythm of training, in the sweat of each round, and in the sisterhood they built along the way.

As a photographer, I was there to document it all. But more than taking photos, I left with stories, lessons, and a deep admiration for their resilience. These women showed me that fighting back isn't just about fists. It's about reclaiming who you are, one punch at a time.

He may be in favour with the Trump administration, but Conor McGregor's chances of making the ballot paper in Ireland's presidential poll are close to zero, experts tell Euroverify.
