Project Annapurna

Women in rural India frequently resort to toxic unconventional abortion methods known as Kadhas and totkas - age-old indigenous concoctions that have dangerous side effects on their bodies. 

 

The origins of these Kadhas can be traced back to the Indian kitchen, which is often considered a safe haven for the country's women. 

 

Using jute bags that store rice - an ingredient found in every Indian kitchen - we decided to educate women in rural India about safe abortion practices.
