About Kaaval.
A small, deliberate cultural publisher. The work, who is making it, and how to reach us.
Kaaval is editorial work against the silence that hides child sexual abuse in India.
We publish essays, in English and in the languages we can reach. The films, the art, and the partner work will follow as the team and the work grow.
Kaaval is not a helpline. It is not a service organisation. It is not a campaign. It is sustained editorial work, for the adult in a child's world.
An imprint of Pangolin
Kaaval is built at Pangolin, in Kochi.
Pangolin is a brand and communications studio in Kochi, Kerala. Kaaval is funded by Pangolin. Its editorial voice is independent of it.
The editorial team and the advisory council are both being built. We will name people on this page when they are real, and when they have consented to be named.

The work begins with the essays.
The first essays arrive this monsoon. We publish about once a month. Survivor-informed, research-backed, never extractive.
Subscribe and we send each one to your inbox the day it goes live.
One email a month. Your email is used only for the essays. Unsubscribe with one tap. We will not write more often than you said yes to.
Thank you. We will write to you the day the first essay goes live.
