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.
