UNDESIRED by Walter Astrada for The Alexia Foundation and Media Storm.
India is a diverse country, separated by class and ethnicity. All women confront the cultural pressure to bear a son, a preference which cuts across every social divide, from geography to socio-economic factors. No woman is exempt.
UNDESIRED is directed by award-winning photojournalist Walter Astrada for The Alexia Foundation, which supports humanitarian issues through the visual medium.
In India, all women must confront the cultural pressure to bear a son. The consequences of this preference is a disregard for the lives of women and girls. From birth until death they face a constant threat of violence. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/publication/undesired
