WOMEN ON STRIKE
For a long time now every story of abuse against women has boiled my blood.
Four years ago becoming the mother of a girl child added a few more notches to the temperature as I became more acutely aware of the inequalities and challenges a woman faces at every step of her life.
Media reports on the brutality being meted out, the growing gap in gender ratios and the total lack of empathy amongst the powers that be coupled with remarks too often heard - what can we do....and the helplessness echoed in that statement, propelled me to think of something WE COULD DO.
We can go on STRIKE and force men and the society to realize our importance and the need to treat us with understanding and respect as fellow human beings.
So here is what I have started and I hope you will join in, for without you it wont work.
