I wonder if all mainstream media anchors are away on vacation today, especially those that love shouting on prime time news. Did the printing machines of newspapers run out of ink last night? Because I don’t see any headlines.
Nari Shakti is just a theme for Republic Day parades and a slogan for International Women’s Day. If, as a country, we really did care about women, this would not have happened.
Fighting shame, humiliation and stigma of sexual crimes, Manipur-based lawyers and human rights activists said these crimes may be buried forever.
It’s been over two months and survivors have now blended amongst the displaced people at various relief camps. Their sexual trauma, dignity, respect all dissolved in the countless stories of mob attacks.
Violence against women especially during riots and clashes often goes unchecked and discounted. If these were really our daughters, sisters, mothers would we have been this silent?
