“When you teach a woman to swim, she teaches her whole community.” - Anna Boyiazis (@annaboyiazis)

Traditionally, girls in the Zanzibar Archipelago have been discouraged from learning how to swim, largely due to the absence of modest swimwear. But in villages on the northern tip of Zanzibar, the Panje Project (panje translates as ‘big fish’) is providing opportunities for local women and girls to learn swimming skills in full-length swimsuits, so that they can enter the water without compromising their cultural or religious beliefs.

‘Finding Freedom in the Water’ by Anna Boyiazis was awarded in the 2018 World Press Photo Contest, and is included in the ‘Written by Light’ Square Print Sale in collaboration with @Magnum Photos. In this image, students from the Kijini Primary School learn to swim and perform rescues, in the Indian Ocean, off Muyuni Beach, Zanzibar on 25 October 2016.
