Submitted by JUJ on Fri, 03/12/2010 - 20:49

What a week for women all over the World!

The week began with International women’s day, Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win a Best Director Oscar for the Hurt Locker and the Indian parliament voted to pass a bill that would reserve a third of legislative seats for women.

So, I’m pleased to give a big shout out to The French Association des Femmes Journalistes (AFJ) and Canon France who are once again launching the 10th competition of the Canon Female Photojournalist Award.

It's with great sadness that we say goodbye to Andy Heath, our Chief Editor for the last 18 months. While he's gone, he's not far away, and will be helping and contributing as ever. All our thanks to him for his imagination and enthusiasm and commitment to the Demotix cause all this time. He's been a star in our firmament - I'm sure you'll all agree. Here he is - the Champion...
