Amidst all this conversation about pre-teens/teenagers/minors being taken advantage of by adults, we’re just here to make sure no one misses signs of sexual grooming.

6. Maintaining Control

Control is a key aspect of grooming. The abuser ensures that they always have the upperhand in the relationship.

[The Safe Space Project @WeAreTSSP]

All this talk about violation of consent, specially of minors has been terrifying. It's frustrating and scary to have your safety invaded by someone you trusted.

We work to bring you peer support via virtual safe spaces.

If an act provides sexual gratification similar to that of penetrative sex, it will be termed as 'rape' under the Indian Penal Code, the bench said.

“While marital rape cannot be penalised, it falls in the frame of physical and mental cruelty” said the High Court

[The Indian Express @IndianExpress]

The court observed that “merely for the reason that the law does not recognise marital rape under penal law, it does not inhibit the court from recognising the same as a form of cruelty to grant a divorce".

Why calling this gender based violence is casteist: A thread.

Gender based violence means that a person faced violence because of their gender identity. In this case, the girl was not targeted just because of her gender, but primarily because of her caste location.
