‘Challenge Accepted’: Our favourite celebrity photos for female empowerment

Originating as a social media movement to raise awareness for femicide in Turkey, the #ChallengeAccepted social media challenge has morphed into a larger movement for #womenempoweringwomen – with more than five million posts (and counting).

The rules are simple: once tagged, you must post a black and white photo of yourself onto your Instagram feed and tag up to 20 other women (friends, family, colleagues, etc.) to pass on the “challenge.”
