An image captured in Akwanga, Nigeria, depicts a dark-skinned woman crouched on reddish-brown soil, engaged in hand-washing laundry outdoors. She wears a grey patterned head wrap, a white t-shirt with blue horizontal stripes and a blue emblem on the left chest, and dark shorts. Her hands, wet and soapy, are immersed in a black plastic basin filled with white soapy water, where she manipulates a piece of clothing. To her right, a silver metal bucket contains brown, likely dirty, water. Partially visible to her left is another grey plastic basin containing folded clothes. In the background, under a sparse-foliage tree, a light-colored dog sits on the ground near a wooden bench or table. Behind these elements, partial views of block-built structures with dark openings are visible, indicating a residential or communal setting.
