SMITA SHARMA @ Bronx Documentary Center
Girls on their way back home from school in Torpa, Jharkhand, India. This tribal region of Jharkhand is affected by social problems like trafficking, child marriage, and witch-hunting. Girls are sometimes kidnapped, assaulted, tricked, and trafficked while on their daily commute to school. The government of Jharkhand has given bicycles to girls across the state to encourage them not to drop out of school.
SMITA SHARMA: WE CRY IN SILENCE
February 18 – March 12, 2023
Opening reception + book talk: Friday, February 17, 2023, from 6-9 PM
“‘We Cry In Silence’ is Smita Sharma’s seven-year-long investigation into cross-border trafficking of minor girls across India, Bangladesh, and Nepal for sex work and domestic servitude. The project focuses on highly organized trafficking rings, unveiling the vulnerability of these young women and why they become trafficking victims. The project aims both to understand this complicated issue and open a dialogue that might spur people to work towards solutions. ”
