Over 200,000 abusive tweets towards female candidates during elections https://t.co/qoSQjGqthw

.@surbhi_karwa and I wrote on how provisions in the #SpecialMarriageAct, esp the 30-day public notice, have become a roadblock, perverting the original intention of the law to enable interfaith/secular marriages.

Clearly women on twitter have far more spine in dealing with trolls than @TataCompanies @TanishqJewelry. You couldn’t take the heat for even a day and caved into the hate mob. As for the bigots, they can never defeat what India really stands for- plurality and diversity

I don’t want my child to inherit an India built on hate, says Rajiv Bajaj https://t.co/KXBrFkN8sf why did Rajiv Bajaj pull ads from toxic channels. Read my exclusive IV in @gulf_news to know

[Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai]

A Dalit woman, who said in her dying declaration she was raped, was murdered in Hathras. Or are we contesting even that now? Unbelievable how the media became complicit to shift the focus within a matter of days.

[Rana Ayyub @RanaAyyub]

Each person who has a public voice, who has expressed dissent, criticised the government must now be prepared for a witch hunt. This will not stop with one individual. They are attacking the voice of every individual who seeks a just and equal society. Wake up before its late

[Hannah Ellis-Petersen @HannahEP]

How did the tragic suicide of a Bollywood star descend into a spectacle of misogyny, drugs, witch-hunts, feuds, police leaks, federal investigations, politicking and the arrest of a Bollywood actor? My piece on Sushant Singh Rajput & 90 ugly days for India https://t.co/R2c9vPGzGq

Have changed my DP for a day to register my utter disgust with how my colleagues on television have broken every code of journalism, every ethical norm, allowed their misogyny and bias to override basic decency and fairness. If you share my disgust, please do too.

[Kavita Krishnan @kavita_krishnan]

Why does @KanganaTeam get Y+ security following the use of a single unsavoury word for her, but, say @RanaAyyub gets offered none even after countless rape and murder threats (which, after Gauri Lankesh, surely we should take seriously) and morphed videos and harassment?

In solidarity with @zoo_bear & @AltNews. Debunking misinformation is a great service to democracy!

Alt News stands by Mohammed Zubair (@zoo_bear).

[Rohini Singh @rohini_sgh]

The vilification of Rhea has been the most shameful chapter in Indian journalism in recent times. Every single journalistic code was broken, every chauvinistic and patriarchal bias was allowed to run as ‘news’. It pains me as a journalist. But it sears me as a woman. (8/8)
