A politically-charged photography project that shows women wearing cow masks in everyday situations has gone viral after raising questions about women’s rights in India.
Launched by male photographer Sujatro Ghosh, the project aims to point out the double standards of treatment in the predominantly Hindu nation.
“I am perturbed by the fact that in my country, cows are considered more important than a woman. That it takes much longer for a woman who is raped or assaulted to get justice than for a cow which many Hindus consider a sacred animal,” 23-year-old Ghosh told the BBC earlier this week.
