Abstract

This work contains illustrations of Shromona Das, who was seven when she was sexually abused by her uncle. Years later suffering silently with the burden of keeping her trauma a secret, Shromona has finally gathered the strength to call out her abusers via her powerful illustrations.

All illustrations are from the collection: ‘Naming and shaming’ by Shromona Das. © Shromona Das.
