Pakistan’s Displaced

By KATE BROOKS

An estimated 3 million Pakistanis have been displaced due to Taliban activity and the recent military offensive in Swat. While the military asserts they now have control of the valley, no one knows when Pakistan’s displaced will feel confident enough to return home. Fears of further displacement are on the rise as new operations are expected to begin in neighboring Waziristan.

    About Me

    Kate Brooks began working as a freelance photojournalist in Russia at the age of 20, documenting child abuse in state orphanages. Her photographs from the orphanages were published worldwide and used to campaign for orphans’ rights.

    Brooks moved to Pakistan following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks to photograph the impact of American foreign policy in the region and life in Afghanistan in the wake of the U.S-led invasion that ousted the Taliban.

    She then covered the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the beginning of the insurgency there for Time magazine.

    Brooks has since worked extensively in the Middle East and South Asia, working to document daily life and covering many of the major news stories in both regions, including the Pakistan earthquake in 2005, 2006 war in Lebanon, the aftermath of Israel’s assault on Gaza this year and Afghanistan’s recent elections. At the same time, she has established herself in the field of environmental and political portraiture.

    Brooks has been the recipient of numerous international awards and her photographs are regularly published in American and European magazines. She has exhibited in group and solo shows in Europe, the United Sates and the United Arab Emirates and has contributed to various book projects.
