I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her.
Thirteen years old. A child. Brutalised by 32 men. She fought for her life… and today, she lost that battle.
How do you even process this? What kind of monsters do this? What kind of society allows it to happen?
These men deserve nothing less than capital punishment. Crimes of this brutality against a child demand the strongest punishment our justice system provides.
She should have been worrying about school, friends, and dreams—not fighting for her life.

I’m angry. I’m heartbroken. And I’m ashamed that we keep failing our daughters.

thinking about how in barbie land where everything is perfect for women, men still aren't suffering. they aren't in servitude, they aren't being objectified or harassed. they are just not the main characters. but in a world run by and for men, women are NEVER safe. that's the difference between feminists and misogynists. women just want to be left alone, while men don't see us as humans.

Menopause being ignored entirely. Almost no research, no treatment options, barely trained doctors. Women are told to “just deal with it”.

If menopause happened to men and as a result of it men experienced a drastic reduction in metabolism, muscle loss acceleration, severely dropping bone density, increase in insulin resistance, sudden increased risk of cardiovascular events, depression and mood instability rise, cognitive issues, sleep disruption, etc, we would have had multiple modalities of management and support systems by now.

Menopause makes women invisible overnight. Everything chances and nobody prepares women beforehand or supports us. Women remain unheard, overlooked, dismissed and undervalued.

The most horrific account of sexual violence and abuse has emerged from Satara in Maharashtra where a 26 year old female doctor who worked in a government hospital has died by suicide - leaving a short hand written note on the palm of her hand and a longer four page letter - detailing how Sub Inspector Gopal Badne raped her four times. In more shocking details that are now emerging, the hand written letter accessed by @themojostory also points a finger at a Member of Parliament who she alleges pressured her through his two personal assistants. The entire tussle, her note says, was over her being asked to issue fake fitness certificates in police cases. Her abuse and harassment, she writes, began, when she declined to do so. Recounting a specific incident she says two assistants to an MP walked into the hospital where she worked and asked for such fake fitness certificates. When she resisted, the men made her speak to the MP who pressured her to do what they demanded . Her family says she made several complaints to senior officers of the police in writing but no action was taken. Absolutely horrific abuse of power that took the life of a young woman. When will our women have a safe working environment? Every such horror account will discourage women from entering or staying in the work force apart from of course the gigantic tragedy of a life lost

Rural India is not that idyllic paradise filled with wonderful people as made out to be.

It's horribly casteist, your caste determines how you will be received and welcomed.

You can be lynched to death by a mob based on hearsay or a mere rumor.

More often than not there is a big bully in charge, either the local zamindar or sarpanch or a local political bigwig, whom you can't even go against.

There is a reason many migrate to cities, and are willing to live in sub human conditions in the slums.

The stench, filth, cramped homes in the slums are preferable to the hell they face in their villages.

The difference between the missionaryhijacked Tamil film industry and the Kannada film industry : Tamil films love to show tribals as sad, oppressed souls stuck in a trench somewhere, probably writing poetry about their suffering meanwhile, Kannada films are out here vibing with tribal culture, showcasing their traditions with pride, color, and a whole lot of style. One is busy digging metaphorical graves, the other is dancing around sacred fires!

I knew what a Miyawaki forest was but had no idea about Dr Nair and how he had created the world’s largest such forest in India.

At a time when the U.S has taken sustainability off its priority list I am just grateful that we have such heroes amongst us…

This country thrives on poverty po*n. Overcrowded trains, workers walking miles to reach home, women carrying infants to work & to a crowded & unhygienic place- all this is 'powerful' & 'inspiring'.

I don't know how many of you have noticed this, but these days, no one talks about academic achievers. All you see in the news and media is hype around the 'Vadapav girl,' 'Dolly Chaiwala,' 'Kulhad Pizza girl,' some YouTuber, Bigg Boss contestants, and so on. If you treat them as celebrities, every kid will aspire to be like them because they see what is being recognized and celebrated as important.

The previous generation saw IIT AIR 1 holders & boards toppers being celebrated. Nowadays, you hardly see anyone talking about the achievements of scientists, astronauts, or doctors. Naturally, kids will aspire to become what they see being acknowledged and glorified.

All 51 men have been convicted of raping Gisele Pelicot

She heroically fought for this while her husband & each of these rapists felt sorry for themselves

We deal with the symptoms but ignore the sexism & misogyny that causes it

Today is Gisele’s day
