Daughter’s Rising in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Nestled in the lush region of Chiang Mai, Thailand, Daughter’s Rising serves as a nonprofit centered on education, employment, and empowerment for women and girls. Key programs include academic scholarships for marginalized identities and a store that enables local artisans to make a living off of their work. I visited Daughter’s Rising to photograph the intricate, beautiful Karen textiles modeled by three young women who styled the pieces with other personal favorites from their wardrobes. Daughter’s Rising purchases and sells the textiles to create avenues of employment for women in the community.
