Child Abuse Lasts a Lifetime:School of Life
School of Life, is a NGO that aims to create a world free of abuse and violence against children. Their main challenge is lack of awareness. Child abuse is still a taboo topic and parents often dismiss the seriousness that such incidents can leave the child scared for life.
Child abuse, leaves a mark on the victim. It changes the way they see themselves and it never leaves them. While on the outside they seem normal, deep down the scars remain forever. This sad reality is depicted with the help of portraits of young girls illustrated in typical children’s picture book art style. But on closer inspection we see that their faces are made of the violent acts committed on them. The posters aim to capture the loss of innocence in subtle yet tragic form.
On 19th Nov (World day for the prevention of child abuse), posters were put up in senior schools, colleges, corporate houses and various counseling centres. This started a conversation and resulted in more awareness about the issue.
