Telling Stories with Impact: Smita Sharma
in partnership with the VII Foundation
Smita Sharma is an award-winning photojournalist based in Delhi. Her work focuses on gender issues, sexual crimes, and human trafficking.
In some parts of the world, girls are as likely to be married off or trafficked as they are to be educated. Sharma thoughtfully depicts overlooked girls and young women, while making sure not to disrupt the lives of her subjects in the process. She is committed to representing people with dignity and telling underrepresented stories with impact.
Join us for a presentation where Sharma will talk about how and why she created the series Left Behind, Not My Shame and We Cry In Silence. Her presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.
