EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photo captures a significant moment in India's fight against gender-based violence. In the image, Indian students gather at Mount Carmel High School in Ahmedabad to attend a self-defense workshop led by Indian instructor Shifuji. The date, December 16,2015, holds great significance as it marks the third anniversary of the horrific Delhi gangrape incident that shook the nation in 2012. Amidst this solemn backdrop, approximately 1500 girls from the school actively participate in an ongoing week-long workshop as part of Mission Prahar. This initiative aims to equip one million women across India with self-defense skills. The determination and unity displayed by these young girls is truly inspiring. The photograph showcases their eagerness to learn and defend themselves while highlighting the importance of empowering women through education and physical training. It serves as a reminder that every woman has the right to feel safe and protected within her own society. Photographer Sam Panthaky skillfully captures this poignant moment with his graphic imagery, emphasizing both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. Through his lens, he immortalizes not only an event but also a movement towards change – one where young girls are taking charge of their own safety and refusing to be victims. This photograph stands as a testament to resilience, courage, and hope for a safer future for all women in India.
