INDIA, STILL A MEN’S LAND

In 2017 I went back to India to document violence against women in Bhopal for a project with ActionAid Italia & the Gaurvi center . In India 70% of women is at some point victim of domestic violence. Violence has too many many shades, there’s physical violence: beatings, dowry deaths, honour killings, witchcraft related murders, female infanticide and foeticide. There’s sexual violence: rape, gang rape and marital rape are commonplace (in India an episode of sexual violence occurs every 20 minutes); There’s psychological violence: verbal abuses and threats; and the list continues with forced child marriage, acid attacks, human trafficking and abduction.
