The resulting images capture the immensity of the e-waste problem and the vulnerability of Ghanaians caught up in the system.

The 13th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award, which funds the annual production of an investigative photo report on human rights violations, is dedicated to Ghana and the issue of e-waste.

The striking images highlight the ecological and human challenges associated with the transnational flow of electronic waste.

The award was granted to a team made up of investigative anti-corruption journalist and activist Anas Aremeyaw Anas and photojournalists Muntaka Chasant and Bénédicte Kurzen (NOOR).
