"Unseen Chains" explores the lives of trafficked women and their children in the red-light districts of Mumbai, such as Kamathipura, and other parts of India. This project sheds light on the harsh realities they face, often hidden from society's view. Through my photography, I document their struggles, resilience, and moments of love, aiming to raise awareness and foster empathy. By sharing these stories, I hope to inspire change and provide these women and children with opportunities to break free from the chains that bind them.
