Fighting Street Harassment Online
Dhruv Arora lives in Delhi, India, and he’s had enough. Enough of rape, enough of harassment and enough of the belief that what women wear has something to do with it.
“I am tired of people getting harassed on the street. I am tired of victim bashing. I am tired of people saying it happened because she was ‘inappropriately dressed,’” says the 24-year-old engineering student.
And so, in January of last year, Arora and a friend — outraged by the story of a 22-year-old woman raped by a cab driver, then blamed for it in the press — decided to do something about it. They created a Tumblr with a simple request: send in photos of what you were wearing when you were harassed on the street, along with your story. Consider it a personal form of protest.
My grandfather used to steer a street car.
It is censorship when a newspaper picks and chooses which articles commenting is allowed on? I just commented on the 6-year-old left on the bus but then moments later, all comments were DELETED and no commenting allowed.
How can a news source b*tch for freedom of the press/information/Popsicle’s /whatever, yet RESTRICT readers?
Is this fair? Balanced? Is this a form of reader manipulation? Are you migrating readers to certain viewpoints?Interesting…
