Photo & Image Consent Policy

Adopted: July 2026

This policy applies to every image published on this website — gallery, news, member events, and field visits. It is our commitment to the dignity and safety of the people we photograph.

Our Rules

  • Informed consent before publishing: Any identifiable person in a photo must have given consent — announced verbal consent for group and event photos, written consent for portraits and photos of individuals.
  • Absolute limits: We never publish identifiable images of survivors of gender-based violence; identifiable images of children without written guardian consent; or images that reveal the precise location of displaced or at-risk people.
  • Dignity: We do not publish images that present people in degrading, vulnerable, or stereotyping situations, regardless of consent.
  • Captions: We do not name individuals in captions unless they explicitly agreed to be named.

Anyone appearing in an image on this site may withdraw consent at any time by writing to info@placohm.co.mz. The image will be removed within 7 days, no questions asked.
