“Reporting to Remember is a project that aims at documenting the victim blaming narrative and acting as a repository to keep it intact in public memory. I realised through my research that victim blaming is shamelessly practised throughout the world, even in the developed nations, but is oftentimes overlooked or forgotten. Such a receptacle then becomes necessary.
The research helped me understand that the questions and answers that Reporting to Remember dabbles with are very hard, but very significant. It made me understand the reasons for starting this project, and the importance of it in contemporary times.”

“I researched news stories from the UK. I primarily found that victim blaming is prevalent across different cultures in the world. It exists in different forms i.e. different things amount to different kind of shaming and blaming associated with victims of sexual harassment. A culture of ‘normalisation’ seems to be present. This was concluded by news media on the basis of frequency of reports of sexual abuse. Also, different surveys have pointed that most females, at one point, were sexually assaulted in one way or the other. This pervasiveness of assault ends up normalising itself wherein females, while growing up, feel it is a part of growing up to be going through such incidents. ”
