We need your help in our upcoming campaign We are looking for sponsors who can look after our travel bills for Spot of Shame. The total travel cost (minimum) estimated for atleast twenty cities is around 2 lakhs (3200 USD) Under this campaign, we are planning 50 events at 50 different spots across Indian towns and cities. Our first spot is Khan Market in New Delhi where Laxmi was brutally attacked by acid by her spurned love. ‘Spot of Shame’ is an initiative by Stop Acid Attacks campaign which is envisaged as an event to remark the spots that have witnessed the brutality against women in different parts of India. It is an event of strength; it is the cry of our conscience against our own complacency. Spot of Shame is being organized to remind the battle against gender violence to our citizens. The Spot of Shame will be marked with a particular stamp, designed by our Mumbai team of eminent film makers and artists, by a graffiti artist on a particular day in every city across the country, starting with Delhi on January 22. The day after the stamp is painted at the Spot of Shame, we will hold a brief demonstration and silent protest to explain people about the presence of the stamp. The idea is to send the Spot of Shame marking viral across all big and small cities and towns of the country over a period of time. To begin with, Stop Acid Attacks will mark the places where girls were burnt with acid.
