Understanding human trafficking through real stories | Smita Sharma | TEDxGateway

Every time we think about trafficking, we think about numbers and statistics. How many girls are trafficked in a year? How many girls go missing and how many are rescued?
Smita Sharma takes us to the stories and faces behind these numbers - and shows us the 'human' side of trafficking beyond the generic news reports that are devoid of personal stories. Smita Sharma is a renowned Delhi-based
photojournalist focused on documenting social issues,
sexual crimes, and human trafficking in the Global
South. Her work has been featured in prestigious
publications, including National Geographic Magazine
and The New York Times. Smita's powerful images
have received recognition and awards, and she
recently published a photo book called "We Cry In
Silence." She is a member of photography
communities and has undergone HEFAT training. Smita
holds a degree in photojournalism from the
International Center of Photography, New York. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

What a sobering talk. Reminds me about the movie "Gangubai Kathiawadi". Realistic, to the point and captivating. One can tell she is truly passionate and concerned about these issues. Keep up the good work.
