Abstract
This paper will focus on the Word Press Photo of the Year awards from 1955 to 2015 as a major repertoire to study how photojournalism builds gender differences in relation to human suffering. To achieve this objective, first, we will talk about the importance of the prize in the context of the international press, defining the features of photojournalism in a world of globalized images. Second, we will review the most important work on these awards and, third, we will critically analyze the presence of women in these images to determine the extent to which the body of women serves to represent the globality or particularity of disasters and traumas humans.Downloads
