Hello everyone,

The first iteration of the Share Your Struggle campaign ran from 15 August 2021 and ran until 15 September, and gathered 600+ images https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Share_Your_Struggle_2021 and 25+ videos https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Videos_from_Share_Your_Struggle_2021_%28to_review%29 from 30+ participants. Apart from a CentralNotice banner across Wikimedia platforms, focused outreach efforts helped to engage professional photographers, photojournalists and social activist organizations such as Lok Sangharsh Morcha https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles?limit=50&user=Lok+sangharsh&ilshowall=1 and Narmada Navnirman Abhiyan https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles?limit=50&user=Nnnamaharashtra&ilshowall=1 .

Five of the top ten images are related to the 2020-2021 Indian farmers’ protest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%932021_Indian_farmers%27_protest, which has been going on for over one year at various borders of the national capital, Delhi. Three images are related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_India.
