A poignant photo exhibition, organized by ECO FAWN Society, was held at the United Nations’ Broken Chair, during the 57th session of the Human Rights Council, shedding light on the plight of victims of terrorism in Kashmir. The event, well attended by UN delegates, foreign travelers, and members of the public from diverse backgrounds, aimed to raise awareness about the ongoing struggles faced by the region’s people. Through striking imagery, the exhibition vividly depicted the personal stories of loss, survival, and resilience in the face of decades of violence and instability.

The exhibition’s central focus was to humanize the statistics surrounding terrorism, giving a voice to the affected communities, particularly women and children. Participants included diplomats, NGOs, human rights activists, and media personnel, all of whom praised the initiative for creating a platform to foster empathy and dialogue on the issue. Public feedback emphasized the emotional impact of the photographs, inspiring conversations about peace, reconciliation, and justice for the victims.

The ECO FAWN Society, a non-governmental organization focused on environmental and human rights issues, expressed hope that the exhibition would contribute to global efforts to address the root causes of terrorism and provide support to its survivors.
