Description	The data from this study presents the lived experiences of women of reproductive age living in urban Ethiopia and the challenges they face in eating healthily for themselves and their children, as well as the solutions they propose. This study fits under the Problem domain of the TAMMIE project, which aims to understand the drivers of the double burden of malnutrition, specifically focusing on poor quality diets. Qualitative participatory photography (Photovoice) was used with women living in deprived or wealthier neighbourhoods of Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia. This method encourages participants to take and discuss photographs that illustrate a theme or problem they experience. As a participatory and action-oriented approach, it provides a platform for women to express their viewpoints and generates material for advocacy action. During five focus group discussion workshops, 31 women told the stories behind their photographs and discussing challenges and solutions to adopting healthy diets. The metadata includes materials for data collection, such as methodology, basic photography and ethics/safety training, and the interview guide. The participant information sheet and consent forms are available in English and Amharic. The available data comprise transcripts from five focus group discussion workshops—three with women from lower socio-economic status and two with women from higher socio-economic status in Addis Ababa. Access to the transcripts can be made available after a formal request using the 'contact owner' tab. (2025-10-16)
