<\/p>\n

We know that real people\u2019s faces are important to bring to life the words \u2013 facts, thoughts, ideas and feelings \u2013 that are in FMR. We have always sought out images that show the personal reality of forced migration, trafficking and statelessness.<\/p>\n

You will notice, however, that in this issue we have taken steps so that the people shown in the photos generally cannot be recognised, and we want to explain our reasoning.<\/p>\n

We know that many, if not all, of the photographers and agencies who generously provide photos for FMR\u2019s use seek permission from those being photographed. However, we have begun to question our assumption that it is therefore always appropriate for us to use these photos in FMR.<\/p>\n

FMR is distributed around the world in print and is freely accessible online on our website; however, it is also made available on other websites and in public libraries and on CD-ROMs. In reality, we ourselves have no way to be sure that the people in the photographs could have given truly informed consent for their image to be used by us. Would they have understood that their image might be seen by people all around the world, and that it would live on in the virtual world for potentially many, many years?<\/p>\n

We think that there are cases where individuals would not wish their image to be used in such a way that they might be identifiable for ever in a situation that is, in all likelihood, a temporary one that catches them at a low point in their lives. We cannot be sure either that showing their image will not \u2013 at some time and in some way that could not be foreseen \u2013 damage them or undermine their dignity. We therefore need to act with caution.
\nWe have decided that we should whenever possible protect the identity of people shown in FMR \u2013 unless it is obvious that this precaution is unnecessary \u2013 by avoiding close-up images of faces and\/or, where necessary, pixellating faces.<\/p>\n

We realise that there is no perfect, correct way to do this. The people in the photos may feel that this robs them of their full identity; they may feel that we are playing into the hands of those who would typecast refugees as second-class citizens or as \u2018undesirables\u2019. It may also lessen the impact of the words. But we have come to the conclusion that this is a route we should try to follow.<\/p>\n

We know that some of you will also have faced this dilemma and we would very much like to hear from you. Please do let us know what you think. You can email us at fmr@qeh.ox.ac.uk<\/font><\/u><\/a> or use the feedback form<\/font><\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
