Anyway, I really appreciate your blog and the questions and issues that you raise, and just wanted to quickly say hello! Hi Jina,

I'm currently researching media representations of rape survivors, and coming across this post just now, my immediate reaction was, 'oh man, i hope she doesn't get more creepy google search results from my research!'

Anyway, I really appreciate your blog and the questions and issues that you raise, and just wanted to quickly say hello!

Sorry for the delay in responding. Anyway, yeah, all the other pics in this report look like that, or at least the method of anonymizing is the same. Glad I'm not the only one to find it odd. That story is fascinating. The pressure to "have art" with printed words can turn things a little upside down. Hey, at least they got it right enough to use a woman from NK? Yeah, um, that's not really enough... Thanks for your comment, Rachel. Sorry for the delay in responding.

The lines do seem, um, sort of violent, like you said -- identity SLICED off. Or like a photo that has been scribbled on. I don't like it aesthetically. A large NGO that a friend of mine worked for has a pamphlet on GBV in NK showing the photo of an older woman facing the camera full on. I am pretty sure this is a random photo taken by a random staff member at a random time. Nothing in the pamphlet says that this woman is a rape victim and obviously GBV doesn't mean rape. Nothing in the pamphlet said that she is a CBO leader or activist either. I'd be shocked if she gave the okay to be the face of the GBV programme. I don't understand the thought process that led to her photo being cropped and dragged and printed onto this pamphlet but I think it must have something to do with her looking "exotic looking" or "older and helpless".
