Anaïs Oudart

Prix Caritas Photo Sociale

The Prix Caritas Photo Sociale was awarded to Anaïs Oudart for her series Héroïnes 17. This work documents the difficulties of young women from child welfare services to build themselves alone, without parents or family. Their journey leads them to know very early on situations of precarious housing or wandering and other social difficulties. This series presents portraits of women in their reintegration journey, who have to fight harder than others to try to reach the same level. Anaïs Oudart made a portrait and an interview of each of them in a collaborative process, leaving them free to express what they wanted to share. The number 17 refers to this pivotal age where Anaïs was able to see many cases of rupture.
