Digital agency, Feminism in India, launches image bank, with free images for media professionals to use when reporting instances of gender-based violence

Perpetrator in Jail by Srishti Sharma
Women are often shown in different states of violation, cowering and shrinking away from an unseen perpetrator, when the mainstream media reports instances of rape and gender-based violence. Feminism in India (FII), a digital media organisation, believes that such images reinforce the idea that women are passive beings, with no agency of their own. They decided to bring the onus of the crime back to the perpetrator, who is usually absent from these images and, therefore, public consciousness.
