WHAT EXPERTS & READERS ARE SAYING

Tanisha RK

"Rape is not something that stems from a maddening lust or desire to be intimate with someone, it's a show of power. Rape is the desire to humiliate, degrade, and abuse power over another."

Kala Balasubramanian

"Movies often glorify the hero ogling at the heroine, harassing her, and later on the woman falling in love with the hero. Many times when a woman refuses a man, it is unacceptable to the man. It can show up in violence or aggression, which is glorified in the society."

"We always apply quick-fix bandages to the problem rather than addressing the core issues. Quick fixes like the death penalty or setting up the funds that often go unused, won't solve the core issues. Women are not treated with respect in our country."
