I don't think people elsewhere fully grasp what's happening in NCR and just how hot it is. At 7am, the tap water is boiling hot. The sun hurts the eye. There's no night time anymore. For 24 hours the temperature feels above 40C. Which means during night the water is as hot

2 men weep as they meet the morning after the ugly #Jaranwala incident where several churches and chapels have been burnt. Most who live here in the #Christian Colony are sanitary workers or menial wage earners. Everything they owned has been burnt to a crisp.

80% of women prisoners in India are in the active stage of menstruation, yet there are no standard policies on Menstrual Hygiene Management in any state.
Let’s break the silence and bring focus on this important issue.

These are the international and nationals standards through which prisoners can manage their menstrual cycle safely, thereby protecting and fulfilling their right to health, sanitation, life and dignity.
