Please tell us about the social behaviour that inspired the work

In India, an estimated 16 million women are victims of sex trafficking every year. Unfortunately, only 7% of them are ever rescued. After the rescue, when the families are contacted, they often refuse to accept these women because of social stigma, patriarchy, and the fear of ostracisation. There are women who are abandoned by their loved ones and are living in despair for years. Sanlaap, an NGO that rescues and rehabilitates women, wanted to highlight this issue and reunite rescued daughters with their families. The Lost Daughter campaign happened during Durga Puja – a festival that celebrates the homecoming of the Goddess Durga – the proverbial daughter of Indians. The Lost Daughters via the festival pavilion shed a spotlight on the hypocrisy in India that welcomes the Goddess like the daughter but abandons daughters who were rescued from human trafficking. .
