The Foundation for Female Photojournalists (FFP) is a non-profit media and art advocacy and research organisation that uses information communication technology (ICT) and other forms of media for development. The organisation's mission is to advance the skills and prominence of women photojournalists so that they might effectively advocate for the rights and development of minority groups, especially women and children. FFP carries this out by documenting and increasing society's awareness of the achievements and challenges of women and children through photography and video, by building the capacity of visual communicators and the media to respond to women and children's rights issues, and by creating and providing useable and accessible information for the development of women and children.
