Qyuki’s creator Unerase Poetry- a mouthpiece for social change collaborates with Kunal Kapoor

Qyuki Digital has always endeavored to provide a platform for creators and digital influencers to be the voice of change. This time they have collaborated with UnErase Poetry, a community producing spoken word poetry for a campaign called #Sold Bodies. The video featuring actor Kunal Kapoor raises awareness about Forced Sex Slavery & Human Trafficking in India and raise funds for the same.

A novel initiative started by standup comedian and poet Simar Singh, UnErase Poetry creates and promotes spoken word poetry in Hindi and English. The digital creators seek to be harbingers of change by featuring a platform to speak and have their poems heard on issues of Marital Rape to Homosexuality and Patriarchy.

Qyuki through UnErase Poetry intends to bring out the true essence of the issues. Through Qyuki’s association, UnErase Poetry collaborated with Kunal Kapoor, Ketto.org (Asia’s biggest crowd funding website) and My Choices Foundation (An NGO working towards the eradication of Human Trafficking in India) with #SoldBodies, a spoken word poem by the actor raising awareness about Forced Sex Slavery, Human Trafficking In India and to raise funds for the cause.

Talking about the initiative #SoldBodies, UnErase Poetry founder Simar Singh commented saying,“It is important that we speak about issues like Sex Slavery and Human Trafficking. We have ignored these women and their rights since centuries and it is high time we treat them as equals“

Sagar Gokhale, Network Head Qyuki, says“Qyuki is more than just a talent platform. It is a mic for our creators to raise their voices about society, and bring into light some grave issues. The arts are a great way to bring the world together and UnErase poetry is doing a fantastic job with their spoken word poems. It's community is very active and with the collaboration and might of actor Kunal Kapoor, we hope this campaign wakes up the citizens of India. UnErase has been garnering huge media interest and Qyuki is humbled and proud to be associated with such a noble cause”

With an aim solely to bring to light the plight of the downtrodden in India, UnErase Poetry has received tremendous responses online and offline with each spoken word poem.
