India&#8217;s first video platform for feminist dialogue led by acid attack survivors launched on May 25, 2025. The platform amplifies stories of resilience, courage and equality, breaking stereotypes through the experiences of women who have overcome immense challenges. Since its launch, Sheroes TV has released 24 videos, including nine long-form interviews and 15 short stories, produced by acid attack survivors. The YouTube channel has gathered 38,917 views and a growing subscriber base of 321.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>The Reason Behind the Platform<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Many survivors of acid and burn attacks struggle against stigma, discrimination and the challenge of finding work across India. Platforms like Sheroes TV offer them not just visibility but a space where their voices, experiences and strength can be heard.<\/p>\n<p>The Chhanv Foundation, which runs Sheroes TV, has built a network of nearly 100 survivors. Approximately 30 survivors are now employed in its various projects. The foundation also runs four cafes in Agra, Lucknow, Noida and Delhi. These cafes have employed around 50 survivors. Hundreds of others have received counselling, education and career support from the foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Sheroes TV now operates independently, without external funding. But even with its pioneering model, the platform and its sister ventures struggle financially. The foundation still relies heavily on small acts of support and crowdfunding to sustain its network of survivors.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36829\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36829\" style=\"width: 788px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36829 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/medialit.in\/thevoices\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bff58bd4-184d-4f01-8efa-c0de5a0edf1a-1024x817.jpg\" alt=\"sheroes anchor \" width=\"788\" height=\"629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medialit.in\/thevoices\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bff58bd4-184d-4f01-8efa-c0de5a0edf1a-1024x817.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/medialit.in\/thevoices\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bff58bd4-184d-4f01-8efa-c0de5a0edf1a-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medialit.in\/thevoices\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bff58bd4-184d-4f01-8efa-c0de5a0edf1a-768x613.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medialit.in\/thevoices\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bff58bd4-184d-4f01-8efa-c0de5a0edf1a-1536x1226.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/medialit.in\/thevoices\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bff58bd4-184d-4f01-8efa-c0de5a0edf1a-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/medialit.in\/thevoices\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bff58bd4-184d-4f01-8efa-c0de5a0edf1a-450x359.jpg 450w, https:\/\/medialit.in\/thevoices\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bff58bd4-184d-4f01-8efa-c0de5a0edf1a-1200x958.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/medialit.in\/thevoices\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bff58bd4-184d-4f01-8efa-c0de5a0edf1a.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36829\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anchors at Sheroes TV<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>From Victimhood to Voice<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;After the film<strong> Chhapak<\/strong> portrayed our work, we realized the world saw survivors only through their pain.
