Nelly Ali has been taking photographs of women strikers in the UK. She writes,

“An emergency protest outside the UCU was called for academics to show solidarity against a deal the UUK had negotiated that was totally unacceptable and demand it’s rejection. After two weeks of strikes to secure our pensions, the deal was, basically, a three year investigation period and a call for missed teaching lectures and seminars to be rescheduled despite having our pay deducted!

A huge turnout, lots of songs and chants and marches later and there was a unanimous rejection from all the universities to the deal…

I wanted to document not only the biggest movement and strike in recent union history in the UK, and this powerful attack on neo liberal education, but to capture the wonderful women who turn up, the women who resist, the women whose solidarity is so incredibly inspiring.

I hope you enjoy browsing these as much as I enjoyed taking them”.
