From Italy to Sweden, from Romania to Portugal: In recent months, portraits of nearly 100 victims of child abuse have been collected throughout Europe. Never has the dimension of the problem been captured in this way. Photos and videos from award-winning journalist Simone Padovani documenting 
the injustices now give the victims a voice. The “SHAME – European Stories” exhibition is a traveling exhibition that has been presented across Europe, bringing to light the stories of those who have survived abuse. To date, it has been on show in more than 15 European cities and has also been hosted at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. Belgrade Month of Photography now integrates Belgrade into this significant initiative.

The objectives of this exhibition are to raise awareness, to promote legislative changes, to break the silence, the stigmatisation, the impunity, the cover-up and even the complicity. The exhibition is organised by the Guido Fluri Foundation (Switzerland) and Justice Initiative, featuring the 
photography and videos of Simone Padovani.

Simone Padovani is an award-winning Italian photojournalist contributing to international agencies such as Getty Images and Universal Pictures. His work has been published in globally recognized media outlets, including The New York Times, National Geographic, The Guardian, Der Spiegel, Focus, 
among others.
