Since it is March and everyone talks about women's day, empowering women and all, thought to share something which makes you all think awhile.
Do you remember Nirbaya?
Do you remember Nirbaya?
That 23 year old, innocent Indian girl, who was beaten, gang raped and fatally assaulted in a private bus by six barbarous men on 16 December 2012 in South Delhi. Not only India, whole world wept for her. Her story is not the only one with such a tragic ending. There are many more poor souls around the world whose suffer from the shades of this darkness.
I have never known Nirbaya, neither saw nor heard, but still somewhere deep inside my heart, keeps weeping over her helplessness.
It is hard to understand where have we actually got wrong, Does this rapid advancement of the technology make everyone so inhuman or is it because of something else.
Talking about this, weeping over, would not make any different, we have to take serious actions against rape. If not this will continue making it much more worse.
Spare a minute and watch this video.
It is a powerful campaign in India against rape called 'Ladies, It’s Your Fault’, which sarcastically blames women as the main cause of rape incidents, has gone viral on social media. The YouTube campaign is led by Bollywood actor Kalki Koechlin and video jockey (VJ) Juhi Pande who tell viewers that it is all women's fault to be be raped, because with whatever, men will be simply men. It is women's duty to be careful not to get raped by someone else.
As a girl guide, one of the best thing I've learnt is that " A guide is sister to every other guide". Yes, ladies, if we don't want to do anything for ourselves or our kind, do you think that men will bother. No, right. These two ladies did something for this out of their capabilities. Something very sarcastic,yet, something powerful and straightforward.
So, Ladies, it is time for actions, Speak up and Stand against Rape!!
