It was more like a "ride bitch" around the block with the total distance in minutes. But even in the scorching heat, with the police and the media's bearing down on Besharmi Arthaat Slutwalk Morcha, women - and many men who joined them - made their point more than two hours in the Jantar Mantar. Women have been wowed, fumbled less, labeled and objective enough, since they are not taking more. Hundreds Jantar Mantar gathered to participate in the much-anticipated walk against sexual harassment. Most participants were young, although there was some lag between one and provide support (the main organizer, Sabharwal Umang aunt for example) and swinging couples girls and hope for a more secure future for them. "I'm doing for her," Aggarwal said Ketki a gesture to his little daughter, "When I grow up, I do not want to face any harassment. She should be able to walk freely." In addition to the walk itself There was a street play, Dastak to raise awareness about violence against women by Asmita Theatre Group and Drum Circle Delhi conducted during two hours. Colorful banners were supplied in abundance by the organizers.
Sabharwal was happy with the response of "movement" received. "I think this is a good turnout," he said. About 25 volunteers cleared the way for walkers and there was a team of 15 organizers. Of all the celebrities who pledged to support only Nafisa Ali appeared. "It's very easy to be harassed in Delhi. We have to start from home and teach children to respect women," he said. national news.....http://kannaangel.blogspot.com
That teaching will not be easy or quick, most could appreciate. "To achieve any social change is not easy. We are all equally responsible for taking the movement further and try to do that," Sabharwal said. "There are serious violations against women and I hope the move will help address the issue. But that can not happen overnight," said 24-year-old Vipin Kumar in the walk. However, that change is urgently needed is evidenced by the experience of walking from Jantar Mantar on public transport.
Prachi Pratap Singh and Natasha, both students who chose to wear shorts, were leering in his way. "We faced that problem a lot," Pratap said, "People were staring as he walked from the station." And shorts are about the most radical outfit in Slutwalk.
