Hi Naresh,
Lakhs of Indians, including you, took action to stop violence against women over the last 3 weeks.
On Change.org,
more than 470,000 people from across the world signed several petitions
asking the Government of India to take concrete steps and stop violence
against women.
Thanks to public pressure
While public pressure has forced the Government to take some steps, there is a lot left to be done. Some people have already started campaigns on Change.org to stop violence against women.
Here are some of the campaigns you might be interested in supporting.
Kavita
Krishnan started a petition asking for the abolition of the “two
finger” test. Kavita feels this practice of inserting two fingers in
the vagina of a rape survivor to check if she is ‘habituated to sex’ is
nothing but medical re-rape that should not have any impact on the
outcome of a rape case.
Sign her petition to Home Minister Sushil
Kumar
Shinde.
Rachit
Barak is outraged that MTV’s facebook page puts up images of female
body parts and asks users to guess the model/actress. Rachit, feels
that MTV is commodifying women. Sign his petition asking MTV to stop
the “guess who” posts.
Anoop, a Palam Vihar resident in Gurgaon, knows that dark alleys and streets are not safe for women.
He wants streets lights in Palam Vihar to ensure safety and reduce crime for the residents of the area.
Tired of false promises from local authorities, he has started a petition asking the
Chief Secretary of Haryana to install street-lights in Palam Vihar.
