Tainted Hands is a play that addresses sexual abuse – a topic often avoided or stepped around within the South Asian Community. This play highlights the impacts, the stigma, and how we, as parents, family, and survivors of sexual abuse, need to start having an open dialogue about it. The goal of this play is to empower survivors and take away the shame, the guilt, and the blame that many survivors carry with themselves. Mannkind is a sponsor of this initiative, and we hope to continue helping to break the silence and stigma that survivors of sexual abuse face far too often.
