I can’t believe, if girl/women, who gets out of her house says- She has never been eve-teased or harassed on the road, in bus or at her work place. There are about millions of women who complaint about eve-teasing. But if you ask them to share their experience, there would be a very few who would come forward. I don’t know if they are too shy, or it’s their laziness which stops them to do so.
Now a question may rise up in your mind- How will it make a difference even if you share your experience here, via woozone or any other platform?
All I would say to this is- If you face some kind of molestation or harassment, you can atleast share your experience and warn other women about the same. I am sure guys being a part of this civil society would have seen something or the other happening to any girl or women on roads, in metro or anywhere else. Even they can contribute and help in creating awareness for women in all parts of the world.
I won’t plead you for your help, nor will I force you. I am not doing it for myself. It’s for all the women out there, who are the sisters and mother of guys reading this. If you can’t take it anymore, take a step forward, and tell them all- “SEXISM STINKS…!!! Time to put a stop on it”……

ReplyDeleteCAPITAL CITY
ReplyDeleteHaving covered southern and western metros, it’s now the turn of the north Indian metro and the nation’s capital – New Delhi. Like Mumbai, here too one can make a mark for themselves in any field. Being the country’s capital, most news channels have their studios here and it is also home to one of the biggest newspapers of the country – The Hindustan Times. Thus, if you are an aspiring journalist or a media person, then opting for New Delhi is not a bad idea at all.
“I opted to come to New Delhi after my first job stint in Hyderabad because the professionals there lacked in proper attitude and professionalism, which is not the case in a big metro city like Delhi. Plus, I get automatically molded to a stronger person by nature, as we girls brave everyday situations like being eve-teased or being taken for granted in office, or on the roads,” voiced Natasha Mittal from New Delhi, who is a hardcore workaholic who believes in working hard and partying harder.
Tarana too, a Lucknow-based girl, who had graduated in Hotel Management opted to move to New Delhi as she bagged a couple of job offers from some of the biggest names in the hotel industry. When asked if she willingly migrated from home to her paying guest accommodation, she said, “Why not? The idea of living in a metro appealed to me immediately for the main reason being that these big hotels would look very impressive on my resume and it would eventually help me do better when I want to start my own restaurant.” For these ladies to protect themselves from the somewhat uncouth crowd of the capital city, they both learnt basic self-defense techniques in case of any kind of harassment. And these lessons did not go waste when Natasha was being harassed in the bus in Delhi.
What you have just read are stories that give a peek in the life of only a handful of successful women who are treading the path of their dreams and for that have willingly stepped out of home to come out of the protective cocoon and explore the harsh realities of the world. And it is these women who have made aspirations, dreams, self-esteem, satisfaction and independence come true.
