Students of the Darul Uloom Riyaz-Us-Saliheen school enjoy their break on a sunny afternoon in Jammu and Kashmir, India, in this image from the 2026 Giga Photo Award competition. Due to years of conflict and heavy military control in Kashmir—an ongoing dispute over territory between India, Pakistan, and China—children are forced to study in difficult and sometimes dangerous conditions. Islamic schools in the region, called madrassas, are not only meant for educational purposes, but they also offer food, shelter, and a means of routine and stability for students.
