‘After you bought me’: An exhibition of photographs and text by young ttribal women exploring the causes and effects of human trafficking
Coinciding with International Women’s Day 2010, Súil Eile presents an exhibition of
photographs taken by young tribal women during a participatory photographic project in
Orissa, east India in December 2008 and January 2009. Rural Orissa, along with other
areas in the ‘tribal belt’, is an area with a high number of cases of human trafficking. The
images and stories explore perspectives and experiences of the women around human
trafficking and issues faced by women in tribal communities in this region. The images
are the result of a collaboration between the Irish based Súil Eile project and Indian NGO
Pragati. The photographers are all women who have experienced trafficking and labour
abuse. The material produced was initially used to create awareness of trafficking in the
local villages as well as to help counter the stigma experienced by victims of trafficking
on returning to their own communities.
