Cindy Cartojano captured this story to pay testament to women like her mother Loreta Cartojano. Loreta was one of thousands of migrant women from the Philippines who moved to a completely alien city, thousands of kilometres away from their family, their friends and their home to find a better life.
"I know there are many other migrant women like my mother in this city who have experienced, or are experiencing, the same thing. I know a big part about moving away is supporting the family back home even when they may be struggling themselves. I think this isn’t talked about enough and I hope to bring this topic to light in a photo-led story."
