“Your skirt is too short”

Let’s take a look at India’s horrific rape figures — Bulandshahr girl who was raped and then set on fire was also 12-year-old. The Odisha rape victim was just 3-year-old, Banda victim was 8-year-old, Hathras victim was just 19, The list can go on and on…

There is a 90% chance that this article is being read by females. I say this because we tend to read stories that are relatable, especially when it is all true but rather ignored.

IF you have ever felt that a woman would be safe if she wears covered clothes then why do developing countires like pakistan have high sexual abuse figures even when most of them wear a hijab.

From boycotting ​​Gérald Marie to the #metoo campaign, we have come a long way in creating a strong voice against sexual abuse, but is this just talked about on social media, or is there genuine transparency around these issues?

Girls and boys are not equal.

As a boy you don’t have to think about going out at 7 pm and, most importantly, you are not judged by the way you sit or how you carry yourself around men in a room. When these double standards for men and women, in terms of behavior, careers, and opportunities, are eliminated then we can compare them. Why we are not as physically strong as men or bleeding five days every month are questions that cross every girl’s mind at some point

I love seeing today’s women taking the lead at workplaces, women in the army, women as lawyers, women as the greatest influencers.

A journalist asked a Supreme court female judge of the United States…

When will there be enough women in the United States supreme court?

Supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says when all nine seats are filled by female judges:

WE hope to see this change soon.

If you ask me the scariest experience of my life, well it is not a ride in a water park but rather a walk from the market to my home at 9:30 during the night.

With 100s of thoughts in my head, I kept looking back expecting someone to follow me, and every time even if a bike would cross along it would scare me out of my wits. It was only after I could see my mother standing outside my house that I was relieved but I can never forget that 10 min walk from the market to my house….

“CONSENT MATTERS”

The question around the true definition of ‘consent’ is a subject that needs to be forced into the mind of every Indian. Of course, it is true that “not all men” rape, but rape is a much greater problem than is being acknowledged.

It’s obvious that we don’t stand against crimes unless it is we ourselves or someone close to us who have experienced it. We need to start by changing our own thoughts and how we view a woman.

Focusing on a woman’s body and eve-teasing is so normalized these days; we only light candles when a woman is raped (not that that does any good anyway). We need to mitigate rape by educating our sons and creating a bold notion about the concept of social equality.

Let’s work towards ending this terrible curse in our society since Your next Instagram post can wait!

Most importantly, it is essential for young people to get involved in the feminist movement. This way, we can achieve faster results. It is no less than a dream to live in a world full of equality.

Impact of Feminism

Feminism has had a life-changing impact on everyone, especially women. If we look at history, we see that it is what gave women the right to vote. It was no small feat but was achieved successfully by women.

Further, if we look at modern feminism, we see how feminism involves in life-altering campaigns. For instance, campaigns that support the abortion of unwanted pregnancy and reproductive rights allow women to have freedom of choice.

The key message of feminism must be to highlight the choice in bringing personal meaning to feminism. It is to recognize other’s right for doing the same thing. The sad part is that despite feminism being a strong movement, there are still parts of the world where inequality and exploitation of women take places. Thus, we must all try to practice intersectional feminism.
