The burning alive of a teacher in Nagpur once again shows how unsafe women are in Maharashtra.
There is a need for stricter action In stalking cases to prevent such murders!

It is also disgusting is the college admins attempts to pass the blame on to the victims.
We condemn both the act & the administration's attitude & demand the immediate arrest of the perpetrators & action against the administration.
We are shocked & disgusted by the reports of mass sexual harassment at Gargi college.
That men from allegedly from a Right wing rally barged into a college premises & harassed girls while security details watched on is horrifying!

We welcome the Delhi Govt's move to make public transport more accessible to women by making Metro and DTC bus travel free. This move works towards empowering women who are denied finances with an aim to curb their mobility. #FreeMetroForWomen#FreeRidesForHer
The Zero Tolerance Campaign unequivocally condemns BJP MLA from Ghatkopar #RamKadam's statements that he would kidnap women who don't agree to marrying men who support him. 1/6
If #RamKadam's actions are left without censure it will set a dangerous precedent for the state & belittles the discourse around women's safety & all that activists are fighting for. 5/6

It's an uphill task for women, battling a society who victim blames & apathetic cops to get cases filed for street harassment, stalking & other forms of sexual harassment.
Ensuring all sexual harassment is punished as a matter of practice is where we believe the battle is 4/4
We welcome the upholding of the death penalty of 3 out of 4 of the accused in the Nirbhaya case.
However we feel it pertinent to point out once again that it is the surety of punishment & not it's severity that will ensure safety against sexual violence.

Our terrible conviction rate on sexual harassment is one of the reasons why such crimes repeatedly take place, another is the difficulty women face in filing any case of harassment in even in the city of Mumbai. 3/4
In the Mandsaur rape case, the police feared that the accused passed on HIV to the 8 year old victim. Is an increasing trend of STD’s in our country’s population what India wants? Surely not! https://t.co/27r5yFklVD
