Title: "But Still We Can Do Something..."
Leah den Bok is a photographer dedicated to sharing the stories of people experiencing homelessness through her ongoing project, Humanizing The Homeless. Her work has taken her to cities around the world—including Kolkata, Brisbane, and Mallorca—where she documents the personal struggles and resilience of those living on the streets. Through exhibitions and public talks, she continues to raise awareness and challenge stereotypes surrounding homelessness.
Leah's work has been featured by major media outlets such as the BBC, CBS, and CBC, and she has spoken at events like WE-DAY (2016), Women of the World Festival in Brisbane (2018), and She Talks in Ontario. Leah is the recipient of several awards recognizing her impact, including the IDRF Youth Impact Award (2018), the Murray Clarkson Award (2019), the SNAP Photo Competition (2020), and the Ascend Rising Star of the Year Award (2020).
