Homage to Savitribai Jyotirao Phule who was the first female teacher of India. She broke all the glass ceiling and provided empowerment to our women.

#India recorded an average of 87 rape cases daily in 2019, which is a 7% increase from 2018. The numbers could be far worse as most rape related crimes stay unreported.

[Feminism in India @FeminismInIndia]

Indian patriarchal society and rules are much more complex than simple economic transactions. A place where women are still seen as inferior, economic empowerment remains just one aspect of a multi-faceted women’s empowerment.

“Rape is not something that occurs by itself. Lets ask ourselves how we, our society, we as people, create and sustain the mindset that leads to rape, how we make our men so violent, how we insult our women so regularly.” - Urvashi Butalia

While the State Government has taken several initiatives like ‘Mo Saathi’, ‘Pink Auto Rickshaw’, ‘Maadhyam’ towards women’s safety, the realities on the ground are different. - @dash_sivangi

The stereotypical view of women being uneducated, housewives, and “possessions” of men has become deeply established in the Indian culture. Even the idea of women being inappropriately touched has become so normalized in society that creating change has become difficult.

India’s sexual assault problem is connected to the judicial system and how lenient it is on rapists. Many rapists receive bail because of a lack of evidence, however it was found that the perpetrators are usually protected by the police, politicians, or lawyers.

Domestic violence affects more than one-third of the women population in India. While there have been specific interventions in health settings in urban India to make it responsive to gender violence, rural India is still in want of such initiatives

India’s caste system and its influence on sexual assault #India #casteinindia #women #dalit #equality #herworld

[HERworld @HerWorId]

Experts say that Dalit women are more susceptible to rape because the perpetrators are aware of the lack of legal protection for the victims. Rape is also about caste superiority as rape of Dalit women is seen as a demonstration of power.
