Firstly, we live in a patriarchy. Let's sort that out.
Secondly, even if u make DV laws gender neutral, do u think men will actually speak up. In a patriarchal society, men too propagate their own oppression while simultaneously seeking power. So if a man speaks on DV, he will be ridiculed. Most women dont come forward for Dv, u think men will? So including them under the 2005 Act is futile but rather a separate act should be for them. Look at Aparna Chandra's report on DV laws and u will realize how much women are dismissed in DV cases yearly. Have some brain.
Even if rape would be made gender neutral, much less men will come forward than women. Simply making a law doesn't solve problems, kid. U need to spread awareness first. Read Mrinal Satish on this 'Rape is Rape:in Defense of the Victim.'
Thirdly, does your NCRB report account for women being pressured to withdraw. Such cases have low conviction rates due to societal pressures. Pls get out of ur misogyny.
On CSA, male children can still be included under POCSO. And yes then the other half victims are women.
I have never seen someone this misogynistic in my life. Really proves my point to say that most right wing women have too much internalized misogyny to ever see the reality clearly.
Sad state of affairs.
Tell me why, everytime I try saying "I don't think extremism is good, both left and right need to learn to not be condescending and alienating/bullying/fucking endorsing hate and violence against groups of people you do not agree with" I get replied with "so you are a centrist cuck who glosses over the alienating/bullying/endorsement of hate and violence done by the side other than mine?"

I have to start by addressing just how much this class has changed my life. It changed the way I see, feel and connect with the world and has opened my eyes to the absolute strength women possess. When we started this class, we got to pick out a ��meme” that spoke to us, I chose “The gift of good literature is that it begins difficult conversations.". Little did I know just how relevant and crucial that quote would be throughout the entire class. Every story we heard, whether TedTalks, articles or the novels, there were themes, questions and realizations that arose. For this Tumblr I chose quotes and/or images that truly spoke to me throughout the class and pushed me to do more research outside of the class. As one can see my "logo” is the quote “Women belong in all places that decisions are being made” this spoke to me after watching and annotating “Tales of Passion: Isabel Allende”. Her story brought up some of the most heart-breaking stories I have ever heard. Stories, that make you feel helpless and small, yet the story was about strength and passion and making sure women had a voice, especially in places of power. “I think that the time is ripe to make fundamental changed in our civilization. But for real change, we need feminine energy in the management of the world. We need a critical number of women in positions of power and we need to nurture the feminine energy in men”. These words left me feeling empowered for the future. Isabel did a wonderful job not only speaking on the fact the women need to be in power positions, but that men also need to have their feminine energy nurtured. This spoke to me as today there are old white men who are judges or politicians who believe that a women’s body and rights are up for debate. When you look at large political groups, they have one large thing in common, most are older white men. This means that laws and important decisions are being made through the need and wants of themselves. Women, especially women of color need to have a voice in place where decisions are being made. Going off that, my next post is a woman holding up a sign that says “why does every woman know another women that was raped but no man knows a rapist?”. Now, this made me think about how women are viewed when they do report violence. I came upon a article “Courts Misogynistic Rules For Rape Survivors” this is about how judges in India continue to this day, to have extreme bias or stereotypes about “rape culture”. Mrinal Satish who is a professor at the National Law University stated, “Rape stereotypes continue, and not just amongst judges but amongst lawyers and students too”. The idea that a woman who has been raped has “lost her most cherished position aka her dignity, honor, reputation and chastity, is blatant bullcrap. This, as well as judges continuing to fall back on how a woman who has been raped, SHOULD behave is misogyny at its finest. Rape law is rooted in it. “You don’t blame a murder victim for provoking her murder. You look at evidence. Why is it so hard to do that for rape victims?”. I then of course started researching many other countries and how Rape Law is conducted, and as I guessed, many are rooted is misogyny. In the US, a 16-year-old boy raped a 16 year old girl at a party, he filmed the entire thing and then decided to share it to his friends with the text “when your first time having sex was rape”. Judge James Troiano said “this man comes from a good family who put him into an excellent school, his scores for college entry were very high, the pressing charges would destroy his life”. What a pity, let’s take a moment of silence for the poor rapist who filmed himself raping a girl and then sent it around. The reason I am bringing this up is because when I read the Tumblr post, I kept thinking about how many male judges, male friends of rapists continue to enable this behavior. If a powerful judge tells men you’re a good boy and gives them a slap on the wrist, what is going to stop them in the future. Men and women need to be on the same side when it comes to rape culture, the side of “its unexpectable and there will be consequences”. We allow to continue what we don’t change. Women’s voices are important, but if men don’t use their power and voice to help, we continue down a path where women stay oppressed. When reading Under Western Eyes: by Chandra Talpade Mohanty I found myself drawn to the paragraphs about violence against women. As someone who has gone through violence at the hands of a male, wanted to learn or try to understand the ideology behind it. I began to feel once reading, that creating the narrative that women are the “victim” aka powerless and the male the powerful creates a notion that men attack or hurt because they ARE more powerful. Now, violence against women is different in countries but that basis of it, is power. In countries where girls get their genitalia mutilated for the reason that women should not feel pleasure as their duty is to have sex, get pregnant and then raise the child. “this, in turn, leads her to claim that woman’s’ sexuality is controlled, as is her reproductive potential” (pg 66) After this reading I did some research and found that many “religion based” ideas like genitalia mutilation are just continued ways to keep women down, and the weirdest part to me is how many men continue to do so. My personal opinion on this topic is that a lot of people (men especially) like to use “religion” as an excuse to continue to “exert their power” on women. Religion and tradition have a lot in common, in the reading “radical women, embracing tradition” Kavita Ramdas speaks on how when she was a younger girl in India her aunt lost her husband, so her other family members came and ripped off all her jewelry, her colorful sari, and wiped her bindi of her head. Her father’s response being “there is nothing I can do. This is tradition.” I am all for traditions, mine really revolve around spending time with my family and doing charity, so I shouldn’t judge other traditions right? I found myself struggling with this because I respect other cultures, what I don’t respect is people doing things out of religion or tradition that damages or hurts someone. As Kavita says “Women don’t make those rules, but they define us and they define our opportunities and our chances.” What I enjoyed about this is she also speaks on her father’s inability to save his own sister from suffering due to the “rules”. I’ve never been so empowered then I am right now after this class, I want to travel and listen to stories and I want to document everything and be a leader of change. As we have heard many times throughout this class, stories have a magic about them, they let you into a perspective that you may have never seen or heard. Story telling allows those who might not have a voice in their own community, a voice in the public, one that inspires, or scares or just plain explains. We all have a perspective on life, due to the information we read, see feel and hear. I’ve learned that there is no gift greater than a story as it gives us a view we aren’t accustomed to and may change the way we previously thought or went about our lives. What I have learned, is that feminism is for EVERYONE. Feminism isn’t the idea that women are better than men or that women hate men, it’s that women and men should be equal and treated as such. I have learned that a story can change lives, and truly fight against oppression, but that without women in power and having a voice in decisions, change is hard to come by. Systematic oppression is a real thing, and during these times today, when people are far more open to the discussion, we have a duty to each other to speak up and to vote and to continue to support all women, globally. I have forever been changed by this class and I am beyond thankful for being able to listen to these stories and share my own thoughts.

“You don’t blame a murder victim for provoking her murder. You look at evidence. Why is it so hard to do that for rape victims?”-Mrinal Satish
This speaks on “rape culture” and how women who are raped, continue to be blamed. Some of the many things said by judges in these cases “what were you wearing”, “what were you drinking”, “you have the power to push him off of you” , “why didn't you scream?”. Many of women fear going public about assault or violence because of this, i cant imagine how many women have been attacked and to this day, have kept it close to their heart because of fear. I continue to believe that laws continue to protect men, and women are left vulnerable to the laws.

I’ve never been so empowered then I am right now after this class, I want to travel and listen to stories and I want to document everything and be a leader of change. As we have heard many times throughout this class, stories have a magic about them, they let you into a perspective that you may have never seen or heard. Story telling allows those who might not have a voice in their own community, a voice in the public, one that inspires, or scares or just plain explains. We all have a perspective on life, due to the information we read, see feel and hear. I’ve learned that there is no gift greater than a story as it gives us a view we aren’t accustomed to and may change the way we previously thought or went about our lives. What I have learned, is that feminism is for EVERYONE. Feminism isn’t the idea that women are better than men or that women hate men, it’s that women and men should be equal and treated as such. I have learned that a story can change lives, and truly fight against oppression, but that without women in power and having a voice in decisions, change is hard to come by. Systematic oppression is a real thing, and during these times today, when people are far more open to the discussion, we have a duty to each other to speak up and to vote and to continue to support all women, globally. I have forever been changed by this class and I am beyond thankful for being able to listen to these stories and share my own thoughts.

1st NSLR Symposium on Law and Public Health at NALSAR University of Law
NALSAR Student Law Review will be hosting its inaugural symposium on the theme of ‘Law and Public Health’ at NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad on the 16th-17th of February, 2019. The interdisciplinary symposium will bring together experts and practitioners from diverse backgrounds, including senior government officials, policy analysts, academicians, researchers, and medical professionals. We would be grateful if you could share information on the same on your platforms. Here are the details of the event:
Background
Law plays an important role in shaping society, enabling us to articulate rights and realise societal aspirations. Public health focuses on the health, safety and well-being of a population, striving to provide the maximum benefit for the largest number of people through interdisciplinary engagement to evolve solutions. Public health considers a wide view of health, going beyond physical health to include issues ranging from mental health and violence to health inequity and universal access to health coverage. Government proposals in the past have been inadequate in addressing the dynamic factors behind poor health. In the context of law’s role in improving access to healthcare, there has been a growing movement to see the right to health as a fundamental right in the developing world, ensuring that the government prioritises actualising universal health care. While the National Health Policy 2017 falls short of recognising health as a fundamental right, it advocates a progressive, assurance-based approach to universal health coverage.
The 1st NSLR Symposium hopes to improve the visibility and effectiveness of law as a tool to protect and promote public health in India from a human rights perspective. To this end, the symposium encourages individuals from law, medicine, public policy, development studies and other disciplines to engage with law and public health, with an emphasis on looking for ways to bridge the gap between research and policy.
Sessions and Speakers
There are four panel discussion and two special lectures spread over two days. The following is a list of the tentative speakers for the respective sessions.
Panel Discussion I – Law, Gender and Public Health: Evolving a Legal Framework to Confront Gender-Based Violence from a Health Systems Perspective
Amita Pitre, a senior consultant with expertise in gender justice and public health.
Dipika Jain, Associate Professor, Associate Dean (Academic Affairs) and the Executive Director of the Centre for Health Law, Ethics and Technology at Jindal Global Law School, India.
