How does the way of dressing change people’s mindset? Hello again!   Is a woman’s safety decided by the clothes she wears?  There’s this incident that took place recently. I learned from that incident! I learnt that if a female wears short clothes it means she is inviting people to rape or harass her, isn’t it true?   I use Instagram where I came across a video of a woman commenting on a girl that she should get raped only because the girl was wearing a short dress.   The girl was harassed by the middle-aged woman. The girl narrated what happened.   She said, “This middle-aged woman addressed seven men at the restaurant to rape us because she felt we deserved it for wearing short clothes and bashing her unsolicited opinion. For speaking up against her primitive mindset”.   I was shocked and angry at the same time while watching the video. I was extremely mad at the woman who said that and I was completely in support of the girls w...

How safe is the world for women? The world is not a safe place for women, is it?   According to the facts, India is the world’s most unsafe place for women. I am an Indian and I am proud to be one.

There are 58,64,69,174 females in India out of which in 2016, 30,000 were raped or h...

What to discuss? I really don’t know how to start or what to say in this blog. I really had no idea about what could be written in this blog. After brainstorming, I thought of women empowerment around the world. As we have discussed feminism and what it is not; I thought about how different countries react or deal with women empowerment. I asked myself questions like, is it true that all the well-developed countries do not have to face problems regarding gender equality? Is it true that only the underdeveloped countries have to strive and face problems regarding gender equality?   Both of these questions keep on striking my mind and I keep on asking myself the truth; I keep on trying to seek the answers to these questions somehow.   I don’t know the exact answer to this question but I am sure that there is an answer. After I read a bit more about women empowerment I came across the Hollywood incident which I mentioned in my first blog. ( https://weforh...
