Mujeres en la India llevan máscaras de vaca por un motivo más que perturbador

Estas particulares imágenes están dando la vuelta al mundo. Fueron publicadas en Instagram por un fotógrafo de la India como parte de una campaña contra la violencia de género.

En Nueva Dheli una mujer es violada cada cuatro horas y eso parece ya algo naturalizado por la sociedad. Ese es tan solo uno de los terribles datos que abundan en aquel país.

Sujatro Ghosh, un fotógrafo de Calcuta de 23 años, se propuso concientizar a la gente sobre esta situación mediante una campaña fotográfica más que llamativa: mujeres con cabeza de vacas. ¿El motivo? El joven artista sostiene  que en su país las vacas son sagradas y son más respetadas que las mujeres.

Para pensar, reflexionar y tomar cartas en el asunto.

“Los casos de las mujeres se quedan parados durante años antes de que los culpables sean castigados, mientras que los grupos de extremistas indios salen inmediatamente a apalear y a matar a cualquier sospechoso de haber acabado con la vida de una vaca”, dice Ghosh.

 

My art comes as a form of protest. In my country Cows are more important than a woman’s life with more security. (Reference: Majority of Hindus believe cow as their holy animal and they worship it though Majority of Muslims consume it as a part of their daily meal.) The debate is never ending «Whether to consume or worship it» but gaining political benefits out of it is wrong. Why not let the people decide what they want to consume. I will be photographing women from different parts of the society. This is silent form of protest which starts from India Gate, one of the most visited sights in India. I would be more than happy if you reach out to me and want to get photographed or maybe join this form of protest. #RisingBeyondJingoism #WHPstandout #indiagate #cow #women #protest #womenpower #weekend #indiarising #workingwomen #live #animals #love #laugh #bluesky #standup #everydayeverywhere #indiaphotoproject #everydayindia #womenphotographers #myfeatureshoot

Pianist Calcutta’17 It’s been a rollercoaster ride with this project of mine and it’s been appreciated in almost all the platforms in the country. Thank you so much for everything the cow will keep travelling ? If you’re interested in it, it’s on out on @thetimes on Saturday.

I will be photographing women from different parts of the society. I would be more than happy if you reach out to me and want to get photographed or maybe join this form of protest. I asked the woman whom I photographed «How do you feel safe when you wear the mask?» Aanya said : «When I came across Sujatro’s first post, I was intrigued. It is such a different concept and I fell inlove with it immediately. I feel that this is a fun and effective way to bring to light the whole ‘cows being safer than women’ issue and I agree with it completely.» #RisingBeyondJingoism #musician #piano #artist #home #art #altenativeart #silent #misplacedpriorities #bengal #calcutta #kolkata_igers #cow #protest #women
