Brilliant Indian comic book turns rape victim into a kick-ass super hero 

India’s rape crisis has a new female face, but it’s not what you think. 

A new comic book, Priya’s Shakti, is making waves in India for its unconventional heroine: a rape victim-turned-superhero who fights gendered violence with the help of the Hindu goddess Parvati. 

According to the comic’s website, the storyline focuses on Priya, a mortal woman who experienced a brutal rape and ensuing social stigma and isolation. Inspired by Parvati, Priya breaks her silence and reveals her assault, encouraging people around the world to take action against sexual violence.

This is much more than a comic. Literally.
