Alcatel’s partnership with the non-governmental organization Aïna since 2003 is part of its strategy to promote information and communication technologies as levers for women’s emancipation. Aïna’s goal is to train Afghan women in journalism. The NGO offers women the needed state-of-the-art tools for obtaining quick and secure access to information. As part of this partnership, this year Alcatel Atrium hosts images shot by Reza, photographer and founder of Aïna. With the exhibition “Women: battle and grace”, Alcatel honors women through the eye Reza turns on those he met on his road. Alcatel AND PHOTOGRAPHY As a strong supporter of photography since 2001, Alcatel's goal is to promote cultural diversity and exchange. This is particularly important in artistic fields, which represent a vital link between the communities in countries where Alcatel has a strong and vibrant local presence. Free of linguistic or cultural barriers, photography speaks instantly to each person. Technical advances in digital photography make the art form a very accessible means of expression. Each day, multimedia content is exchanged on the Internet and over mobile phones thanks to Alcatel's fixed and mobile infrastructures and software.
