<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As a woman and an independent Indian journalist, a writer and a poet, I have regularly engaged with gender-based violence throughout my career. Recently, I decided I wanted to write more on the subject — particularly to better understand why men commit sexual violence and why women are not encouraged to report it. My research for this work required me to click on rape-related news more often than the average news consumer.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The outcome was distressing. I found that story after story included images of survivors of sexual violence that were gory and denigrating. They often depicted survivors in shredded clothes, fear-stricken eyes, and arms outstretched in appeal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">These images not only forced readers who are also survivors to relive their own trauma, but also depicted survivors as hapless objects carrying the shame that should be attached to their violators. This depiction also caused the subjects of the photos to potentially face a double victimization through the stigma that society imposes on rape survivors. As someone who has faced sexual harassment and child abuse, I certainly did not wish to be depicted this way.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What’s more, images of the alleged perpetrators of this violence were rarely featured. If illustrated at all, perpetrators were usually presented as hands gagging a woman’s mouth or a huge figure hulking in the shadows. While guilt squarely belongs with the oppressor, these images depicted powerless women cowering in shame. If sex is about power, then these images only served to maintain the status quo of men having power over women. They robbed women of their dignity, agency, and identities by presenting them as nothing more than victims — as prey to male predators.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In January this year, I grew tired of seeing these images and doing nothing about it, so I launched a <a href="https://www.change.org/p/network-18-18rahuljoshi-mukhiasudeep-set-an-example-by-not-using-disrespectful-images-of-women-in-sexual-violence-reporting" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #cb2127; text-decoration-line: none;">petition on Change.org</a> that explained why this subject was of concern not only to me, and all sexual violence survivors, but to anyone who respects women and believes in gender equality. Specifically, the petition asked Network 18, a media house in India, not to use disrespectful images of women in their reporting on sexual violence. I chose Network 18 because I believed it would be more effective to start with a specific news group rather than condemn all of them at once. What’s more, Network 18 is a mainstream news group that has a large presence across various platforms in more than one language — all of which could be positively impacted if my petition saw success.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In February, I co-organized <a href="https://twitter.com/anandankita/status/1091268076966957056" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #cb2127; text-decoration-line: none;">a Twitter chat </a>with the human rights organization Breakthrough India in which journalists, activists, and other people participated and discussed how insensitive gender reporting discourages and disrespects survivors.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But in addition to calling out bad media representation of sexual assault survivors, I wanted to put forth the best alternative way to cover the topic. I found out that Breakthrough had launched a workshop called #RedrawMisogyny to produce <a href="https://scroll.in/magazine/834887/what-should-the-graphics-for-a-report-on-rape-look-like-redrawmisogyny-has-some-ideas" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #cb2127; text-decoration-line: none;">images that can be used in sexual assault-related media coverage, which </a>focus on culprits of violence, not the victims of it. I also studied toolkits like the <a href="http://www.chitaskforce.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Chicago-Taskforce-Media-Toolkit.pdf" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #cb2127; text-decoration-line: none;">Chicago Taskforce Media Toolkit </a>(Reporting on Rape and Sexual Violence), and resources put together by the <a href="https://dartcenter.org/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #cb2127; text-decoration-line: none;">Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma </a>to help reporters understand how to better report on the topic.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">All of these efforts allowed me to have a conversation with the media about gender-sensitive reporting that was related to the petition but that also ultimately went beyond it. I wrote to media groups in India and other countries requesting that they do simple things like make a <a href="https://www.change.org/p/network-18-18rahuljoshi-mukhiasudeep-set-an-example-by-not-using-disrespectful-images-of-women-in-sexual-violence-reporting/u/24094983" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #cb2127; text-decoration-line: none;">statement on social media</a> supporting the petition if they agreed with the cause. Sometimes this worked: For example, one Hindi magazine contacted me to let me know that even though they are a feminist publication, my work helped them realize that they too need to be more careful with their language when reporting on cases of gendered violence.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Almost two months after I first published it, the petition had gotten 47,000 signatures, but I still hadn’t heard anything from Network 18. Then, on March 14, I received a response from the executive editor of CNN News Network 18, <a href="https://www.change.org/p/network-18-18rahuljoshi-mukhiasudeep-set-an-example-by-not-using-disrespectful-images-of-women-in-sexual-violence-reporting/responses/41926" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #cb2127; text-decoration-line: none;">pledging that the</a> outlet would remove all debilitating images of women from their database and use more neutral substitutes. He also committed to training their staff in gender-sensitive reporting.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This victory was ultimately just a small step toward changing how the media depicts survivors of sexual assault. All media houses, not just Network 18, need to take these steps — and stick to them in the long term.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Survivors often trust reporters to write about their stories in the hopes of achieving justice; the press can cover cases in which the police refused to help, and therefore shut them out of other forms of justice. Sometimes these reports have real power to put pressure on the police to act. But these benefits are often negated when the reporting involved isn’t sensitive to the survivor’s needs. Journalism has the power to hold a space of compassion and dignity for the trauma that survivors are denied elsewhere; we must make sure that it does.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Women across region, class and age have always expressed a serious concern for their physical safety. Take the capital city of Delhi, for instance: It has regularly faced indictment for failing to provide safety to its women residents; a 2012 <a href="https://www.un.org/youthenvoy/2013/09/un-women-supported-survey-in-delhi-shows-95-per-cent-of-women-and-girls-feel-unsafe-in-public-spaces/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #d40652; line-height: 1.3;" target="_blank">survey</a> by the UN and the International Center for Research on Women showed that 95% of women felt unsafe in Delhi, and 51% of men interviewed there admitted to having sexually harassed women in public places.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Therefore, in an effort to examine the access – the lack thereof, and the challenges therein — to public spaces by women in the city, The Pocket Company launched Genderventions (directed by Niranjani Iyer), a theater project, of which I was a part. Through a series of street performances in different areas of Delhi, we set out to assess how comfortable and confident Delhi’s women felt outside their homes, and what men viewed as harassment, its causes and the possible solutions.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here’s how the project rolled out and what we found.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">*</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It started with a workshop, during which women members of the Genderventions team re-enacted scenes of harassment, the ludicrous suggestions — like “do not go anywhere alone” – that they and women at large are routinely given by society as solutions to women’s safety, and possible ways of resistance against these expectations.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For example, thinking about how women deal with the lack of public toilets, a high-stress scene, led to a skit in which one woman acted out peeing, while two covered her, and another stood guard.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As one of the activities in the workshop, women from the Genderventions team went to a park on a winter night. When men huddled around a bonfire saw them, the men asked why the women were out at night. Upon explaining that they were trying to reclaim public spaces at night, the men seemed to realize that the spaces they take for granted are daily battlefields for women.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">During the workshop, too, women spent time learning the expected postures of a male body. This led to an exercise in which the Genderventions women occupied public spaces while assuming postures commonly associated with men. I participated in this, visiting a Delhi tea stall – the only woman there. I remember sitting with my feet up, or standing in the middle of the road with arms behind my head, while bystanders stared with a mixture of shock, awe, or, if they were women, of amusement and admiration.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In the same exercise, Gendervention’s male members tried to walk and carry their bodies like women. We took this exercise to the male members of the audience and gave them instructions usually given to girls about how to sit, stand, walk, laugh — be graceful; don’t be too fast; don’t walk so slowly that you seem dull; smile, don’t look morose; don’t laugh loudly; don’t put your chest out. This sought to help the men watching understand the undue pressure upon women’s bodies to simultaneously embody the obligation to be nice, and the fear of coming across as too nice. The men’s awkwardness was clear; they said they did not feel “natural” or at ease, and did not like being constantly instructed.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We found this to be effective experience-sharing, where the audience could empathize through having lived the same experience, albeit temporarily.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The project was taken to different areas, markets and street corners of Delhi and depicted the scenes of harassment developed in the workshop, and asked the audience to describe what they perceived. If they said the woman was being harassed, we asked why they thought so. They described how the woman was squirming and inching close to the corner of her bus seat, or scowling in anger if the man’s hand touched her knees.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We also depicted a scene in which a female actor started alone on stage, then male actors joined her. It allowed the audience to observe a woman’s body in a space free of men, and then observe how discomfort in her body started building up as more and more men’s eyes turned to stare at her. This was to shed light on how staring can constitute harassment for a woman.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ultimately, men easily outnumbered women in the audience, because as an unwritten rule, women are not supposed to loiter and watch street performances. At one point, we even had to pause the performance and intervene because a young girl was not able to watch our play due to being constantly jostled by men. The only exception was when we performed in a team member’s residential area; there, women formed the larger piece of the audience pie because she had personally invited the women. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After our shows, women in the audience spoke of how the only place where they felt comfortable in their bodies was the bathroom. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">*</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When it comes to providing security to women, <a href="https://theswaddle.com/centre-has-taken-steps-for-womens-safety-minister-says-are-they-the-right-ones/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #d40652; line-height: 1.3;">the focus of the government</a> is still on CCTV cameras, SOS apps and helpline numbers, whose aim is either to help women stay safe or to provide mechanisms to report if they are harassed. It is still far away from proactively creating spaces that are welcoming for women, and encouraging women’s right to risk. It is still a time where irritated cops ask women to avoid trouble and go home when these women come together for their night walks to reclaim the streets.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes we do not believe in solutions or alternatives until we see them; art can help with the visualization. The performances and interactions we engaged in show that, despite laws, men’s take on harassment came a lot from what they, and not the women, “believed” should be defined as harassment. Victim-blaming is still rampant.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In our “ideal city” exercise, we asked men and women to describe a city that is equally accessible and comfortable for men and women. When our female actor gave an example by sitting on an imagined bus seat, with closed eyes and a relaxed body, taking up enough space for herself, some protested that it was not the correct or proper way to sit.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Once, a member of the audience said a harassed woman on the bus should stand up on her seat and call attention to the harasser. After a team member carried out the suggestion and enacted that scene, I realized I had never considered the possibility — but after I had seen it “in action,” I felt I was ready to literally stand my ground the next time somebody tried to attack me. Ironically, but not unexpectedly, I had to confront a harasser on public transport even as I was on my way to one of these performances.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222223; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Delhi is home to women from diverse backgrounds. Some come seeking education and employment. Others have lived there all their lives. Both look to the capital with the hope that it would provide them with opportunities they do not have access to elsewhere. These women deserve better. They deserve more interventions by the state and its citizenry, more gender-ventions that change attitudes and actually prevent crimes against them, so they can equally and fearlessly claim every inch of the mega-city. </span></div>

<i style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Media reports about sexual violence may be geared towards raising awareness and justice but the images themselves sometimes end up doing damage instead because they reinforce the stereotype of women as “easy prey”, in turn encouraging rape culture. One powerful way to make society view such women as “survivors” and not “victims” is to change the way the media depicts them.</span></i><br />
<i style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">I used to be an activist in the past. After I joined journalism, I have tried to steer clear of activism in order to ensure that as a journalist my work carries minimum bias and that when it does, I make it known. With this mindset, sometimes when things within the media community bother me, I feel perplexed about where to draw the line between carrying on with my job of being a reporter and speaking about issues that affect me as a member of this community.</span><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-style: normal;">Insensitive reporting done in the case of incidents of sexual violence had bothered me for a long time. I used to get especially upset by ghastly drawings that were supposed to represent the survivors, where the women seemed to have been robbed not only of their clothes but their dignity. Instead of creating awareness, some of these images actually seemed to titillate. There came a point when I felt that taking up this issue was important because it is necessary to look inwards. My intention was not to fight or blame anyone else but to take responsibility for the profession I was part of. Gender sensitive reporting was not something I only wanted others to do but also wanted to do better myself.</span><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-style: normal;">But how could I do something about it? Would anyone read or respond if I sent letters to media houses? Should I write articles on it? Would my attempt be seen as an effort towards censorship? I finally decided to bell the cat with a </span><b style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://www.change.org/p/network-18-18rahuljoshi-mukhiasudeep-set-an-example-by-not-using-disrespectful-images-of-women-in-sexual-violence-reporting" style="color: #cc0099; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">Change.org petition</a></b><span style="font-style: normal;">, ‘Set an example by not using disrespectful images of women in sexual violence reporting’. Even then I had to decide who I should address. I thought about the Press Council of India but wondered whether, even if the petition was heard and an advisory issued, it would be effective. I finally decided to write to a particular media house in order to start out small, and I chose Network 18 because it was a major mainstream outlet and its decision could possibly also have an impact on others. </span><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><b style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </b><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><b style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“</b><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A scared figure crouching in a corner, a large hand covering a mouth trying to muffle a scream, outstretched arms pleading for help, tattered clothes . . .</em><span style="font-style: normal;">We have all seen these images that accompany media reports of sexual violence against women. As a woman who has survived sexual harassment like so many others in India and around the world, I have felt insulted looking at these images. I don’t want to be depicted this way,” I said in my petition.</span><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-style: normal;">After having sent off the petition, I started garnering people’s support for it. We had online and offline discussions among friends, colleagues, journalists and NGOs over how such images further objectified women, and thereby actually encouraged and did not prevent assault. I read more on the subject to learn how I, while I was at it, could do better reporting on sexual violence as a print and digital journalist. </span><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-style: normal;">When </span><i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Assam Tribune</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> invited me to write a short piece on the subject and I shared the article online, it resonated with a lot of people. Germany based Hostwriter, a media platform for cross-border collaborations, also sent in their support for the demand. Whenever I was invited to speak about my campaign or about gender related concerns in general, I got another chance to request people to sign the petition if they agreed with the demand. If I went for media trainings and workshops, I would solicit the suggestions of others. </span><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-style: normal;">I had also been sharing a Hindi translation of the petition in order to reach the maximum number of potential supporters. I was trying to stay prepared for questions around alternatives to current images. Personally, I thought the images of people, especially women, protesting sexual violence, which have already been used by many, could be a powerful example. Such images were not about helplessness but about rage that challenged the oppression. These pictures showed that women are “doers,” not always the “done upon-s.”</span><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-style: normal;">The sample images that Breakthrough, an organisation working to end violence against women, had put together for their </span><a href="https://inbreakthrough.org/redraw-misogyny-change-the-narrative/" style="color: #cc0099; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">Redraw Misogyny campaign</a><span style="font-style: normal;"> a few years ago also changed the narrative. Women were illustrated in a realistic way and more space was given to the representational images of harassers who were clearly portrayed as the wrongdoers. </span><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-style: normal;">Some journalists told me they had earlier raised the issue in their newsrooms but not much attention was paid to it. I, too, did not know if Network 18 had even read my petition. There had been no acknowledgement, no “we will look into it,” and so, in my mind, I started feeling that I might have to keep up the campaign for years, and then I might as well try to effect a change in other spaces.</span><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-style: normal;">I was least prepared to get an affirmative response from CNN News 18 even before the petition had completed two months of existence. In their response, they promised to clear their database of the older stock images and instead use more neutral visuals. They further added, “We have also let all our reporters, members of our editorial and production teams know how to use images while reporting on sexual violence.” It was a better and quicker response that I had expected and I felt immensely grateful to the 47,000 people who had stood behind the petition with their signatures. Frankly, I had not imagined that so many people would care about the issue.</span><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-style: normal;">The fact that not only the media house but so many people responded to this call for change showed that while individual journalists may not have the decision making power that rests with editors or media group owners, when backed by the readers of their reports, they too could play a small part in changing the narrative. As the petitioner, I have been trying to follow up on Network 18’s promise so that I could write to them if I found them using images that could still be problematic. </span><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-style: normal;">Sometimes, when I share these images with other survivors, there are differences of opinion around certain visuals. All this taught me that there is a lot of work to be done in the area of gender sensitive reporting, and especially on the images used with reports on sexual violence. One way to move forward is to keep our ear to the ground and find out how viewers and survivors respond to the same set of images. We could take these images to young boys and men to find out what role the images play in forming perceptions around sexual assault, women and gender equality. There is a long way to go, and I am glad that small beginnings are being made.</span></span></i><br />

<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;">As
a journalist, a writer, a poet or as someone invested in gender
issues, if I am invited to speak publicly, there is often a pattern
to the sequence of events that unfold. There are aspects of
internalised conditioning that I have to work against to publicly be
as full and true a version of myself as I want to be. </span>
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">

<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If
I am the only woman on what would otherwise have been a manel, I
wonder if I have been invited for the sake of tokenism. A grassroots
activist organisation called me for their programme once on short
notice saying they are all men and that they need “some woman” on
stage. At times like these, I sit down with myself to believe that
maybe it is some effort, however small, made by the organisers to be
diverse. I have to remind myself that what I am going to share comes
from the work I have done, however limited, and from my lived
experiences. And that since sharing this has resonated with people in
the past and encouraged others to speak up, it is important that I
continue to do so regardless of the organiser’s agenda in inviting
me. In fact recently I came across an excellent tweet where the woman
is aghast at being invited as a gender diversity showpiece. Then she
remembers how men have been getting so many invites for ever simply
by virtue of being men. This calms her, and me, down.</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">

<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">On
these public occasions, I remind myself of my school days when I
spoke too fast because I was, as so many women are, afraid of taking
too much time or space. This was despite encouragement by teachers
who had read my articles in the local paper and had thus asked me to
speak in the morning assembly. But in writing I could quietly put my
thoughts out there and withdraw; in speaking I had to convince myself
and a full school playground that my words were worthy of their time.
My friends in the audience used to gently tell me that I seemed
hurried, and that they would have liked to hear more from me. When I
recall this today while being on stage, I slow down and learn to use
the time allotted to me, even as I marvel at how most men around me
leisurely exceed the time limit. I remember an exceptional case, a
poetry event when I used up all my time while the men finished
sharing their works in a shorter duration. I look at these instances,
or occasions of taking a couple of additional minutes, with a mixture
of guilt and embarrassment at having got “carried away”, and
exhilaration at having finally claimed my time and space.</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">

I am off the stage and if people I do not know come to compliment me
on my words, I am reminded of all the times my confidence was
labelled as arrogance. I try extra hard to prove to them that I do
not think too much of myself. I labour to </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">appear</span></i></span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
as polite and humble as I feel. From the point of qualifying or
rejecting others’ compliments to realising that it is disrespect</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">ful</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
both to them and to myself, I have now reached the stage of biting my
tongue and saying a tight thank you, and then worrying about whether
I would have struck the other person as being too cold.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">When
it is a man praising</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
me I listen with bated breath hoping he won't ask for my number
(unless for a clear, work related purpose). If he doesn’t, I am
relieved. If he does, I give it because I do not want to be rude.
Later I am angry with myself for buying into the notion that my
concern about not being harassed (arising from experience) is less
important than a man’s feelings. </span></span></span></span></span>
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />

<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;">The
next time it happens I say no, and offer my email instead. The man
notes down my digital address and gives me his phone so I can punch
in my number, as if he never heard my no. Ironically, my talk at the
event where I was the only woman on the panel was on listening to
women’s stories rather than imposing our stories on them. The man’s
dogged pursuit of my number while ignoring my own consent makes me
feel like once again someone is trying to force me to link my Aaadhar
number with every shred of my identity. As I wonder if I would have
to get a Supreme Court order to make his volatile effervescence
subside, my friend approaches me and subtly fixes my sari palla
slipping off my shoulders. I am suddenly aware of all the people, all
the men around. I am now too tired to think and don’t want to get
into an argument so I end up feeding my number. I return home
frustrated with myself again for having caved in, for not having
stood up tall enough, long enough for myself while I had aimed to do
that for other women in my speech. I get some semblance of a closure
only when he calls me up later and asks to meet and “just chat
about stuff”, and I respond with a terse no and hang up and block
his number. </span>
</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I
am a feminist, I am 33, I am called to speak on issues concerning
women, I am perceived as bold and outspoken by many. Yet I struggle
to occupy space, to take time, to say no without explaining or
apologising, to make people believe in my humility. The most taxing
part of my feminism is not fighting others but resisting my own
conditioning. Through poems I write, plays I act in, reporting I do
and books (like </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
Courage to be Disliked</span></i></span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">)
I read, I am constantly schooling myself that I can be who I want to
be, that I do not have to be who I am supposed to be according to
gender roles. </span></span></span></span></span>
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">

</span></div>
<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So,
while meninists would like to believe that our claws are pointed at
them, the truth is we are more engrossed in a nail biting battle to
peel away our own conditioning. For the longest time, this truth used
to piss me off. Eventually, as promised, it has started setting me
free because this phenomenon reiterates that patriarchy is not a
monster coming at us whose head needs some slaying. It is a
claustrophobia inducing tent that covers all of us, getting hotter
with global warming, one that needs to be deflated from within. And
if I ever get on pins and needles facing it again, I want to prick it
right in the gut and say, “Yes, I have a number and no, I won’t
give it to you,” and walk away and without stressing about whether
my gait would be seen as haughty.</span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Using theatre to talk of taboo subjects in the Himalayan state of
Uttarakhand, and the lessons learnt</span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A
few years ago, our theatre troupe, Aatish, had gone to the Central
Himalayan region of Uttarakhand, in the Almora region, with our plays
on resisting menstrual taboos and pre- and post-natal care for women.
Before we booked our tickets, there was a big debate in our team on
whether the men in our troupe should go along with us. Would it make
it awkward for the women in the audience to interact with us if there
were men on the stage too? Would they even come to watch?
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We
finally decided that patriarchal rules were set up by men and at
times implemented by women. So both men and women needed to be part
of the discussion. If a man wondered about why his menstruating
daughter is not sleeping in a hut outside, he needed to know that it
was her right to be as safe and comfortable as the rest of her
family. If medicines or nutritious food had to be bought for pregnant
or lactating mothers, men needed to know why it was crucial to budget
for it.
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">With
some of our apprehensions and nervousness still remaining, we got on
the stage on performance day. With our usual enthusiasm, glitches and
improvisation, we concluded our plays and waited with bated breath
for the audience’s response. The turnout had been promising. But we
still bit our nails fretting: would the audience find it worthwhile
to come for our upcoming performances in the area or would they
reject our choice of subject and actors for discussing what many
consider “womanly” issues, or, “ladies problems”!?</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After
a kind applause, an old woman got up to say, “All right, we need to
maintain hygiene during menstruation. But living here in the
mountains we face water scarcity. Can something be done about that?”
Another man her age shared how his pregnant daughter-in-law was
forced to carry water as her spouse worked in the city and the
father-in-law was too old to do it himself. We encountered more
openness in talking about women’s health than we sometimes find in
urban settings.
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A
local activist spoke of how women need to be healthy in order to
function well in society, drawing the analogy of a sewing machine
that needs regular oiling. We interjected to say that women need to
be healthy because everyone deserves to be, and not just because good
health ensures women’s <i>productivity</i>, something that ends up
serving others’ interests more than their own. Two girls came to
talk to us in private. One tried to explain a menstrual problem but
was not very clear. Her friend, standing a few steps behind, came
forward and revealed that her friend had been speaking on her behalf,
because the girl had been hesitant. She then spoke about the issue
herself and asked us if she should see a doctor.
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Others
in the audience said that the hospital in front of which we performed
hardly had doctors or medicines. Someone from the hospital said that
is because people do not come to the health centre but prefer to go
to <i>ojha</i>s instead. There was a dialogue. We ended up doing a
workshop for the NGO that wanted to create a play on basic health
issues to show how people could take care of minor ailments (many
children in the region had been lost to diarrhoea) through simple
measures at home rather than going to quacks and risking their
health. There was also demand for a dance performance after all the
serious stuff we had put them through! Slightly embarrassed at our
lack of skill in the area, we had to excuse ourselves. In the
evening, we performed our play on menstruation again on a stage that
had been set for a Ramleela performance by the locals. As we tried to
break a taboo in our own small way, little heads of Ramayana
characters peeped from behind the wings.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Some
of the questions that had been raised by the villagers were simpler
to answer than the others. The people there probably already knew
that. But they wanted someone to listen, which we did. And we learnt
and unlearnt. We learnt a bit more about the lives of people in the
mountains, and unlearnt some of our own stereotypes. We realised that
for all of our efforts to spread “awareness”, we too had not used
words like “menstruation”, or “maahvaari”, its Hindi
equivalent, as many times in our lives as we did that day on stage.
We witnessed that once we had normalised the use of those words, a
girl in the audience could also use it to discuss her problem with
us. We lived the experience of every effort of liberation being a
collective one, not something that gets passed down from one to the
other. We saw that the restraint that an urban sense of privacy
imposes on middle class or upper middle class conversations is often
absent from many rural conversations where privacy and segregated
familial and individual spaces are often a luxury. We noted that
working at the local level required an understanding of the local
context, and not stand-alone, externally imposed “solutions”. We
were humbled to see that where fundamental rights could not be
availed of, people at times withered, and at others made do with
proud resilience. We observed that when representatives in a
democracy failed to serve their people, those people sometimes got
attached to dangerous peddlers of faith, for the desperate want of
something to hold on to in the face of adversity. And we learnt that
if we wanted more people to join our revolution, we needed to add
some dance to it!</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Walking
back to our accommodation after the performances, workshops and
discussions, we saw a grey-haired lady beat us to the top as we
huffed and puffed up the treacherous hilly path. We knew that she and
her tribe could leave us behind each time, and we thought of the
“development” that had been too slow in reaching them, and yet
was ironically leaving them behind.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>1. Use
of respectful visuals</b></span></span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">:
Pictures of survivors in torn clothes or hiding their tear stained
faces while predatory silhouettes loom over them add to the shame
society already imposes on sexual violence survivors. Stock
representational images commonly found in media reporting of sexual
violence take all power and agency away from survivors, adding to
their objectification and, ultimately, to rape culture. Media should
instead use empowering images, like those focusing on the culprits,
or photographs of protests against such violence, so that survivors
feel that their narratives would be told with sensitivity, and more
of them come out to report sexual violence.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">

victim blaming language</b></span></span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">:
Media trials that declare people as guilty even as investigations or
court cases are under way are unethical. At the same time, reporting
should not be such that it casts aspersions on the survivor’s
account. Instead of writing “the person who </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">allegedly</span></i></span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
raped”, one can say “the accused”.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

a clear distinction between sex and sexual assault</b></span></span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">:
Terms that describe consensual sexual intimacy between people should
not be used when talking about sexual assault. Rape is not sex,
groping is not caressing, and so on. When this difference is erased,
it dilutes the extremity of the crime and makes it appear as if the
survivor were complicit in the violence done to them.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

the right context</b></span></span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">:
Reports that talk of the victim’s clothes, whether they had sexual
relationships in the past . . . all amount to what the Chicago
Taskforce Media Toolkit calls “superfluous descriptions”. What
deserves to be under the lens is the perpetrator’s action, a deeper
study of their history and motivations, pointers that could help a
better understanding of rape culture so the approach makes one think
of ways of prevention. The Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma also
calls for framing of news stories in a way that they are “thematic
rather than episodic”.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>How
it all began</b></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I
remember about a decade ago I had chanced upon Orkut, which now seems
Facebook’s pre-historic ancestor. I started basking in the azure
Orkut skies with considerable glee because it was a chance to
reconnect with friends I had lost to their IT jobs and their
consequent dread of sending emails after doing it at work all day,
even if to a long lost friend. A few days into the e-socialising I
was warned by well wishers against putting up my photographs online.
They had chosen to replace their own display pictures with white
cherubs, celebs and tulips. Their unsolicited, solicitous advice came
from what they had heard about the misuse of data and pictures
online, especially when it came to women. Their was talk of morphed
pictures, theft and blackmail in the cyberspace.
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What
they feared was not baseless but I still chose to live my life,
online and otherwise, on my terms, rather than let unknown villainous
forces determine my choices. I took the stand to fight those who
stole and misused others’ data. It was the same as believing in
asserting my claim over the physical public space and going out
prepared to confront those who challenged this right of mine, instead
of giving in to them and shrinking my world to my home.
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I
got a chance to put theory into practice soon enough when, not
through Orkut but through Yahoo messenger, an anonymous blackmailer
sent me messages threatening to tell my family I was dating someone.
I was young and taken aback for a moment but was immediately seeing
red hot rage in the presumptuous texts. I was outraged to think that
a stranger could make so bold as to believe that he would have so
much power over me because as a woman I was flouting a societal norm
by dating. I had no intention of handing over my self-respect to him.
I refused him what he was looking for – attention – and did not
respond to the message. If my family received some malicious letter
some day from a stranger, they certainly did not apprise me of it.
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>“What
would happen if one woman told the truth about her life/The world
would split open”</b></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Cut
to the present day, many years later, and I find that the above lines
from Muriel Rukeyser’s poem resonate with our reality. Looking at
the #metoo movement in India, we would find many women outing their
sexual abusers online, through Twitter but also through Facebook and
Instagram. It is also a slap in the face of that annoying expression
about women being women’s enemies. Women at the front of the
movement have formed a protective wall around those who could bring
themselves to share their horror stories only because they were
promised anonymity in the online public space. This has been one of
the most heartening examples of the women’s solidarity network that
always existed but was not adequately acknowledged in the misogynist
discourse. Women are trying to ensure that survivors, many having to
relive their trauma in the retelling, get what they need: therapy,
legal help, a patient ear. This one hashtag on social media has
brought women together across the globe.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It
is not that social media has ceased to be the abusive arena it has
been for women, same as any other public space in which women first
make their foray. Sudipti, who writes regularly for Hindi
publications online and in print, and is a schoolteacher, says, “As
a woman as long as you are writing on gender and other social issues,
you may still be fine. Expand further into religion and politics and
be prepared to witness the backlash. After writing continuously on
these issues, I got exhausted handling the constant whataboutery and
prejudice, and stopped.”</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But
digital footprints are easier to track than physical ones and women
have also given back as good as they got by taking action against
abuse through solid proofs like emails and screenshots, which the
social media makes easier to save and reproduce. Having practised
theatre in Paris, Delhi and Dharamshala, Niranjani Iyer was one of
those who make their Facebook profiles due to exhortations by friends
and then their digital presence gets relegated to the background. In
the context of women speaking out online, she exclaims: “I never
thought I would say this but I am so glad that social media exists. I
would still say Twitter can be noisy but with Instagaram you can
reach so many.” Theatre needs its practitioners to take on
different roles and personas, and those in power take advantage of
these grey areas to abuse their colleagues. “This movement has not
exploded in theatre yet. But it has made people rethink power
equations. The kind of things people in power have got away with . .
. the impunity . . . I don’t think it’s possible now. The
potential for women to come out with their stories is huge.” She
talks of the notion of shame imposed on women, which led to guilt in
women about what had been done to them. “Now women are speaking up
and saying, ‘You did this’.”</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In
journalism, theatre, writing, music, films, different kinds of art
spaces, in some ways it can become easier to gaslight victims because
the abusers often have politically correct, progressive, masks. The
wordplay they employ to defend themselves can also be that much more
brazen and preposterous. Take the case of accused poet CP Surendran
trying to defend himself in his statement (<i>Firstpost</i>, 16
October 2018): “I believe sexism is an intellectual and physical
reality . . . I choose not to think in given categories.”
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Social
media has enabled abusers as well, by giving men an easy space for
their sanctimonious declamations that contradict their acts of
violations, so that victims in the beginning end up questioning
themselves and potential supporters of survivors are full of doubts.
On the basis of an image formation that they achieve on this fluid
medium, announcing book deals and getting themselves photographed
with well known faces seen in the mainstream media, their stream of
“friends” and “followers” who believe in that image also
grows.
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When
such a personality, a well known poet, was called out on Facebook by
another poet, the survivor was met with both support and disbelief.
Poet and scholar Semeen Ali was one of those to come out in the
survivor’s support and, with other poets, sent a letter to Sahitya
Akademi. The letter demanded that the accused step down from the
editorship of a prestigious anthology in the making, which many of
the signatory poets had been selected to be part of.
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Semeen
recalls the series of events to have unfolded after that: “There
were people who signed the letter and backed out. They did not want
to ruin their equation with him [the accused]. The Indian poetry
scene is really small and many do not speak up as they are afraid
they won’t be published in anthologies.” Of these, many were
later invited to readings organised by the accused, while some places
that used to earlier invite Semeen’s poetry distanced themselves
from her. Semeen is also a book reviewer and, after this incident,
refused to review books written by the accused, knowing that possible
consequences could include her being “blacklisted” as a reviewer
as well by some renowned publications. “And that’s ok”, she
says, “I could not keep silent knowing what had happened, also
considering my personal experience and those of other poets as well
when it came to the behaviour of the accused on several occasions.”
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The
loss of conditional friendships and spaces for career advancement
have not deterred other women. Like Niranjani, who started her own
theatre company and did physical theatre in India at a time of
dialogue based plays, believes, “What are spaces, after all? Spaces
can be created.” In cases where an accused has been first named on
social media, many other women have come out with their stories of
him. Others came out to support the survivor and her case. There have
also been women who started putting out their stories anonymously,
sharing their identity details only to one or more of the women who
were ready to listen and to share these stories further with
permission. Some of these anonymous tellers later revealed their
identities, which gave their narratives even greater credibility but
also added to their vulnerability.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Their
life on social media was scrutinised by naysayers. Women with a “low”
follower count online were accused of sharing their stories of abuse
to gain more followers; they were asked again and again to repeat
lurid details of the harassment, blamed for “harming” the
reputation and career of the men who had ruined the women’s
reputation and career, and left them with enduring trauma. Actor
Tanushree Datta’s account of harassment by co-actor Nana Patekar
when she refused to enact certain scenes for a film was mocked by
trolls who circulated video clips showing her kissing on screen in
other films.
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It
was the usual scene of trolling and abuse that women face when they
speak up. Only this time they were not alone. They were standing up
for each other; they were educating, agitating, organising, through
letters demanding investigations to organisations the accused were a
part of, to the police, the court and the National Commission for
Women. The Network for Women in Media in India kept taking regular
cognisance of these accounts and pushed for action, along with
providing support to survivors.

<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Online
movements were scoffed at in the beginning as the best one could
expect of lazy millennials. However, with time it became clear that
not all online campaigns lack teeth. From protests in Iran and Egypt
to #Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street, all over the world
people have successfully used social media to amplify their causes.</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />

<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Concerns
have been expressed about whether the Indian #metoo movement with a
large online base can be truly inclusive, whether it can reach those
much lower in the rung when it comes to caste, class and patriarchal
oppression, many of whom have no access to digital spaces. It would
be naive to believe that the number of social media users in India
represent the whole country, or a balanced gender ratio among its
users. Think tank LIRNEAsia’s study, reported by Karishma Mehrotra
for </span><i>The Indian Express</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
on 8 August 2018, showed that 80 percent of Indian men are mobile
users, and only 43 percent women have cellphones. The gender gap in
users is higher in rural areas, 52 percent, and was recorded as 34
percent in urban India. 64 percent, of which 68 percent were women,
did not know about the Internet. 27 percent of those who did know
mostly used it for social media.</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />

<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">But
there is clearly potential for more in a scenario where a person in a
village recharge their phone with Rs 10 to watch an entire movie.
India has the highest annual growth rate of Internet users. If
mobiles and the world wide web did not offer spaces of expansion to
women, khap panchayats and town councils would not have advised women
against those things. </span>
</span></div>

<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rural
women reporters of </span><i>Khabar Lahariya</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
joined the #metoo women to talk of the daily harassment done by their
male counterparts, and shared how men had stopped sending them porn
in the wake of the movement. Garment workers, bus conductors and
street vendors in Karnataka met publicly and spoke about the
harassment they are forced to face at their workplaces every day if
they want to hold on to their jobs. These examples are not enough. </span>
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">But
it is also important to remember that women from non-urban spaces
have not spoken up for the first time. In fact it was Bhanwari Devi,
a rural, Dalit woman, whose fight against the sexual violence done to
her led to the Vishakha Guidelines and a law against sexual
harassment at workplace. So the notion that only urban women can
“take” the movement to the unorganised and rural sectors is also
flawed, though urban, digitally educated women can certainly work to
spread it. Raya Sarkar, a bahujan feminist who started the movement
online in 2017 says in a </span><i>Livemint</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
interview to Rituparna Chatterjee (who has been one of those at the
forefront of the 2018 campaign), published on 15 October 2018, “A
lot more can be done because dalit, adivasi and bahujan women’s
voices are missing from the discourse right now . . . It should
include the voices of trans women, homosexual men and women and
non-binary folks.” But what the movement has done despite its
limitations is to remind women themselves of the power of solidarity,
of the responsibility each woman has of keeping it open and
inclusive, working together to reclaim the online space as well as
the public domain and ensuring more women have safe access to these
spaces. </span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Women
on social media were first targeted by companies as mere consumers.
The Internet is rife with video advertisements celebrating gender
equality, though on television this is still making slow progress.
But as women started being attacked for being political and not just
personal beings online, they demanded better regulations from
platforms and a zero-tolerance approach to threats and hate speech.
The end result is far from being achieved in entirety but the
pressure forced platforms like Twitter and Facebook to take into
account online sexual harassment done through their platforms. These
groups have since come up with tools to provide a safer environment
for women online and collaborated with women’s rights groups to
work better in this direction. At the same time, there is sometimes
great disparity in how these platforms take action: a person’s
account gets suspended for their political opinions while another
openly abusive person continues to retain their account. These
practices would need to be remedied even if companies have no
interests other than business ones are heart, and it might encourage
more women, therefore more “consumers”, to start using these

<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">One
way social media has offered a safe haven to women is by connecting
them to support groups that they do not always find in their physical
lives: there exist groups for domestic violence survivors to single
mother groups. These are safe spaces for the women to share their
experiences, seek out advice and be connected to experts, legal and
health professionals as required.</span></span></div>

What happens on social media does not necessarily remain on social
media. The multiple accusations against ex-Union minister MJ Akbar
have now turned into a defamation suit against one of the accusers,
journalist Priya Ramani. When this made news, women on social media
started pledging all sorts of support to Ramani. There were several
who wanted to help with the legal expenses; others kept reassuring
that all of them would back Ramani’s fight in whatever way
possible. Most of these people were unknown to the journalist
herself. Amidst everyday articles about social media leading to
loneliness, there were hordes of women assuring each other of
solidarity and support.

after her demonisation, in the US Monica Lewinsky is finally
appearing in a docuseries (made by a team with women in majority) on
</span><i>The Clinton Affair</i><span style="font-style: normal;">. In
a piece by her in </span><i>Vanity Fair </i><span style="font-style: normal;">titled
“Who Gets to Live in Victimville?” (13 November 2018), Lewinsky
writes, “Bye-bye, Lewinsky scandal . . . I think 20 years is enough
time to carry that mantle.” She remembers that when Clinton got
quizzed about why he had had this inappropriate relationship, his
answer was “Because I could”. Responding to questions about why
Lewinsky would go through the trauma of participating in the series
that demanded digging up of painful memories and unsavoury news
articles, she states she participated because “</span><i>I </i><span style="font-style: normal;">[she]
could”, to ensure that what happened to her “never happens to
another young person in our [her] country again”.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Herein
also lies the reason why it has not been easy to dismiss the Indian
#metoo movement as a social media “fad” or “trend”, though
many used these frivolous terms to denigrate the movement. It is
because women are speaking up not just for themselves but for those
who fought before them and for the ones to come after. Statement
after statement by survivors echoes this thought . . . that they are
doing this for others who suffered and took the risk of speaking up,
or so their sisters and daughters and any other woman does not end up
believing that silence is their only recourse. These are women who
have often and repeatedly been failed by due processes instituted by
official committees and laws. In fact, their voicing themselves on
social media has exposed the inefficacy of many of these systems and
organisations and also shown that power does not lie in the hands of
a few people at the heads of committees and institutions. Women have
used social media to create spaces and platforms that had been
consistently and unapologetically denied to them, and those who
robbed women of these rights would now have to contend with their
complicity. Those who have been holding their breath for the movement
to “fizzle out” should instead take a deep breath and prepare for
the long haul. The day of reckoning that they thought would never
come is finally here.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“</span><span style="color: black;"><i>The
first time a bulldozer came to our place, I was scared and kept
sitting near our belongings that had been thrown out,” says Roshni,
a ten year old whose family migrated from Bihar to Delhi looking for
employment. Roshni and her family have been living in a slum in
Yamuna Khadar’s Belagaon in the capital’s eastern region. The
settlement is right behind Rajghat, the memorial dedicated to Mahatma
Gandhi. Between 2011 and 2018, the houses and the small farms of the
dwellers had to face frequent eviction drives by the Delhi
Development Authority (DDA).</i></span></span></div>

<div class="western" lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Children in these fragile
communities are amongst the worst hit by slum demolitions. They miss
out on education, dropping out of school due to homelessness,
uncertainty, and the stigma they face in schools as “slum
children”. Caught in a cycle of poverty and growing up with the
violence of forced displacement, their future is one of unemployment
or poorly paid jobs, not to mention underage labour.

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lakshya
Aakriti Foundation (LAF), a not-for-profit, runs informal schools for
them in Belagaon because often having to shift from one place to
another severely hampers schooling. Diptesh Singh of LAF explains,
“We have been associated with this place since 2012. The area faces
around four demolitions per year. One demolition takes place in a
staggered manner over several days. So for the entire period the
families, including the children, stay around their homes in case the
bulldozers return. And it is not as if children’s school calendar
is taken into consideration when homes are demolished. Children end
up missing many days of school at a stretch or dropping out
altogether.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">This
year Roshni saw DDA officials in her area again. But this time she
was quick to act: “I carefully dismantled our makeshift home,
carried the lighter things outside the house with my younger brother,
called up my older brother, and waited for him to come and take the
heavy stuff out.” </span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Despite
the trauma associated with demolitions, some children feel it is
better to stay on and claim their rights to the land their ancestors
have lived on since before Independence. Being close to the Yamuna
river, the area is different from most urban slums in its greenery
and fertility, and many residents depend on farming for their
livelihood. Abdul and Rohit, both about 13 years old, are friends
reluctant to shift to another locality. Abdul explains: “There is
open space for us to play cricket. Neighbours share fresh vegetables
they grow.” But he rues the fact that it takes months for families
to get back to farming after bulldozers have run over their crops. </span>

raze the houses to the ground, Abbas, 14, feels like “hitting those
people till they run away”. “It would be so good if we can retain

gas, while here we can use the wood available around.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Abbas’s
father, Shafiq, has an elder son who works in another city as a shop
assistant. With the family facing either homelessness or the threat
of it, the son had given up on education years ago. Being illiterate
himself, Shafiq wants that at least Abbas should study well. In
answer to a question about the line of work he wants to pursue later
in life, Abbas replies with a blank eyed stare, “I’ll become
whatever is written in my destiny.”</span><span style="color: black;">
</span><span style="color: black;">Constant
displacement has made him lose faith in the surety of anything and he
believes that fate would decide his future.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Sunayna
Wadhwan has been an activist with organisations like Hazards Centre
and Mobile Creches. In her experience of working with communities in
slum clusters, she noticed many families don’t send children to
schools so the kids can call and inform the parents if a demolition
drive seems imminent: “When we conducted meetings, children would
join and try to learn about what the future of their homes would be.
Those who go to schools are often discriminated against. The school
authorities feel these children won’t be able to stay in one area
consistently and are reluctant to take them in. Once admitted, they
have to face social stigma, like being made to sit on the last seats
of the bus, because of living in slums.</span><span style="color: black;">
</span><span style="color: black;">The
proportion of students in higher education from such localities is
low. A common trend for those who do study is to get enrolled for
open or correspondence courses once they reach the college level.
They realise that a college degree can be helpful in getting them
jobs, especially through NGOs active in their area.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Working
with the Centre for Policy Research (CPR), Mukta Naik is an
urban planner and architect. Remembering an incident of relocation of
a community, she says, “The shifting took place close to children's
board exams [considered a crucial test in an Indian child's school
life]. Some children ended up losing the documents needed to appear
for the examination.” </span>

<div class="western" lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Resettlement also affects
livelihood. Women working as domestic workers within the city are not
able to find opportunities in the far flung areas where they are
resettled. This affects the amount of spending on children's
education, whether it’s about admission to a new school or
traveling to attend the old one. The minute it becomes a question of
a long commute, girls are made to drop out even quicker because of
safety concerns. Sometimes they stay back to take care of the house
or siblings, without being safe themselves in the cut-off areas they
have been moved to.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="western" lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Evictions also lead to
absenteeism because there is so much damage to property that every
member pitches in to put the household together. Children lose
uniforms, bags and books. At a time when they have been rendered
homeless, parents find it difficult to buy these things.

<span style="font-size: large;">For the teacher in the school
run by LAF in Belagaon, absenteeism is a regular concern. Once
evictions/demolitions start occurring at regular intervals, children
start dropping out. He says, “These children have to live in the
constant fear of getting uprooted.” Shivani Chaudhry of Housing and
Land Rights' Network, an NGO, recalls meeting a boy who broke down
and started crying each time he saw a bulldozer. Demolition drives in
Delhi’s slums have led to some children getting injured and others
getting killed.

<span style="color: #222222; font-size: large;">“The
city sees adolescents in slums as potential abusers. But what about
the tacit violence these children live with?” asks Enakshi Ganguly
of HAQ Centre for Child Rights. “They grow up seeing their parents
getting beaten up for fighting for their rights. The threat of
children getting abused increases when resettlement takes place in
remote areas and the jobs parents get closer to the city keep them
out all day. Children are left to fend for themselves.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Nazdeek is an NGO fighting for
the rights of communities in slums. Jayshree Satpute, Nazdeek’s
co-founder and lawyer, talks about litigation’s role in helping
eviction affected people, “When the court comes up with a
favourable order, like ordering authorities to make anganwadis (day
care centres) for children, it happens after a year or so but also
with results like two centres being close to each other, rather than
in different localities.” </span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="western" lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">The
staff of these anganwadis are also not motivated. They have been
fighting for better wages and recognition as government employees,
and not volunteers. Working in slums is not lucrative because they
get incentives if children have regular attendance. “In an area
facing forced migration, this regularity takes a toll,” Jayshree
adds. </span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Bipin
Rai is a member of the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB),
a government body in charge of looking after slum clusters and their
resettlement. He says, “Evictions are not legal. That is why we
resettle and rehabilitate. But DDA and the Central Public Works
Department do not cooperate or partner with us when it comes to land
under them.” </span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">However,
like Rai admits, DUSIB too is not directly engaged with looking after
the social aspects but is involved more in the infrastructure of
resettlement colonies. Sudeshna Chhatterjee is the CEO of a trust
called Action for Children’s Environments. In her paper ‘Children’s
Role in Humanizing Forced Evictions and Resettlements in Delhi’,
she describes the active participation of children in resisting the
Gautampuri evictions in the year 2000. It had brought to attention
children’s problems and gained them greater participatory space.
But to look after the complete social, educational and psychological
well being of children facing displacement, special focus on children
in city planning for changes to be made at the policy level is
something urban planners, researchers and activists continue to
advocate for</span><span style="color: black;">.</span><span style="color: black;">

lawyer-activist Jayshree Satpute’s statement, “The </span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">elite
