<p>Four young volunteers &ndash;&nbsp; Md. Tajbit Ahammad Barat, Sumaia Akter, Md. Naimur Rahman Zihad and Rujina Begum &ndash; spent four months learning how to shoot pictures and documenting the lives of women and girls affected by last May&#39;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.</p><p>Hafeja Begum&nbsp;helps her mother with domestic duties.

Mr. Guterres visited a UNFPA-supported women-friendly space, a safe place where women and girls can receive information and referrals to health and social services. © UNFPA Mozambique/Natalia da Luz

To respect the women-only space, Mr. Guterres placed his chair outside the entrance of the tent. Agueda Nhantumbo, a UNFPA aid worker, explains how risks to women and girls increase in crisis settings. © UNFPA Mozambique/Natalia da Luz

The women-friendly spaces, operated by UNFPA and provincial authorities, also provide supplies for the women to teach each other skills, such as pottery and basket weaving. Here, women teach one another to plait hair. © UNFPA Mozambique/Natalia da Luz

“We just need the tools necessary to go back and make a living,” one woman told the Secretary-General. © UNFPA Mozambique/Natalia da Luz

The storms offer “a clear example of what’s in store for all of us if we don’t act now: more frequent, intense and damaging natural disasters,” Mr. Guterres said. “We need urgent climate action.” © UNFPA Mozambique/Natalia da Luz
