Are we really honoring the contributions of women in all aspects of society? This is true that women have been successful in fighting for equal pay, access to education, and breaking barriers in male-dominated fields. But there is still much work to be done to address issues such as gender-based violence. Old-fashioned ideas about men being better than women, harmful beliefs, and not everyone having the same opportunities all play a part in why women and girls face violence. Raj Shamani's recent podcast on International Women's Day shed light on an often-overlooked aspect of women's lives, their safety. It served as a wake-up call to the harsh reality many women face on a daily basis, be it physical and sexual violence or emotional and psychological abuse. A very distressing episode indeed! Yet, Yogita Bhayana's courageous efforts shine brightly??

India has advanced in almost every field, yet sexual violence which occurs within the four walls of a matrimonial home is considered to be a private, family matter and is excluded from scrutiny by public institutions like the courts. Marital rape is not an offence in India and the criminal justice system has failed to render justice to married women who are victims of sexual violence. Marital rape is a common but under-reported crime. The true prevalence of marital rape in India, as in most countries of the world, is unknown, but various research conducted in India indicate that it is common despite the unwillingness of many officials to acknowledge it. Marital rape or spousal rape is the act of sexual intercourse with one's spouse without the spouse's consent. The lack of consent is the essential element and doesn't always involve physical violence. Marital rape is considered a form of domestic violence and sexual abuse. #rape #maritalrape #spousalrape #sexualviolence #domesticviolence #graphicdesigning #creativedesigninig #contentgraphic

“90% of the cases that women file against men are fake; only 10% are real,” said Adv. Vikas Nagwan on our podcast. He is a leading criminal lawyer and Advocate at the Supreme Court Of India. In our conversation, he shared stories of how women have filed fake cases against men and how men have suffered as a result. Here are my top 5 takeaways: ? He said that if a girl claims there were intimate moments with a guy under a false promise of marriage, an FIR can be filed, and the police may also arrest the guy. ? There are gangs active in India, involving girls who meet men in public places, develop connections, and later file fake cases alleging false promises of marriage. ? He claims that 95% of domestic violence cases registered by women are fake, with only 5% being genuine. ? Couples in live-in relationships cannot be restricted or stopped by society or the police, as there is no law prohibiting them from living together. ? He highlighted that if a wife goes to her husband’s office and creates a scene due to her doubts, there is no legal action against her; however, if a husband does the same, there are legal consequences. That’s all I had for you today! We also talked about: ? Psychology of victim and accused ? Rights of couples in Live-in relationship ? What a girl should do if blackmail against private pictures ? Difference in rights of wife and husband ? Rights of women who go through domestic violence Watch the entire podcast here: https://lnkd.in/dFzV4Eb8 P.S. One right that you want in India for men?

Title: Addressing the Surge in Male Rape Cases in India In recent years, India has witnessed a troubling rise in reported cases of male rape, shedding light on a previously overlooked aspect of sexual violence. Despite prevailing stereotypes and societal taboos, male rape is a reality that demands urgent attention and action. The increase in male rape cases can be attributed to several factors, including heightened awareness and advocacy efforts that have empowered more male survivors to come forward and seek justice. Additionally, shifts in societal power dynamics and evolving gender roles have led to greater recognition of male vulnerability to sexual violence, particularly in contexts where power imbalances exist. Legal reforms have expanded the definition of rape to include male victims, encouraging survivors to speak out and hold perpetrators accountable. However, male survivors continue to face significant challenges, including stigma, shame, and a lack of access to appropriate support services. To address this issue, it is essential to break the silence surrounding male rape and challenge societal norms that perpetuate harmful attitudes towards male survivors. This includes raising awareness, providing education on consent and healthy masculinity, and ensuring that support services are available and accessible to all survivors, regardless of gender. By acknowledging and addressing the surge in male rape cases in India, we can work towards creating a society where all survivors are heard, supported, and empowered to seek justice and rebuild their lives. It is time to break the silence and stand in solidarity with male survivors of sexual violence.| Harsh Jain #male #rape #sexualoffence #cases #crime #law #lawyer #lawfirm #TrueCrime #CriminalJustice #CrimePrevention #LawEnforcement #JusticeSystem #Blog #lawworld

The number of people protesting against the rape that took place in Kolkata, made me wonder that “Why do rapists rape?” Is it because of the violent pornography videos freely available on the internet or due to the lack of sexual desires attained by men? Well, the major factor involved in any sexual violence is consent, however, there is also a hidden factor involved and that is “power”. Nowadays, this kind of violence is not limited to rape only but it has evolved to cruel torturing and killings of innocent victims. This kind of violence cannot be influenced by filthy videos or due to lack of intercourse. It is a grave problem that includes the dirty mentality and psychology of men, and it needs to be resolved. The number of rape cases just to satisfy men’s pleasure is a very small fraction of all the heinous instances involved. The problem is with the societal barrier which is prolonged for ages. Blind patriarchy and the dominance of men are the primary factors that escalate the situation. A lot of offenders of rape are minors who do not have any sexual experience so far. Also who can expect a toddler to get raped? Expecting a 15-year-old teenager to be an offender and a 15-month-old toddler to be a victim is just unimaginable. Is rape a sexual desire or an act of violence? If we think that rapists are lusty men, then we would be the one to be at fault. The number of cases showcases the inhuman mentality of such offenders. We need to understand that these offenders just want to satisfy their “masculine ego” and not their lust. The state needs to understand the difference between ego and lust. Also, it is the need of the hour to change the mentality of such patriarchal men and scare the offenders with stringent laws. We should not be the ones to seek justice rather we should ask how justice can be sought! #linkedin #revolution #justice #socialmedia #networking #posts

As we celebrate women's day, let's come together to end rape. While the Indian govt tom toms India being a vibrant global tourist destination, we are unable to escape the harsh reality on the ground. Is it truly safe? This past week a biker couple of Brazilian/Spanish origin riding their way through Asia and over 20,000km in India on motorcycles were horrifically attacked, beaten, and the woman gangraped by 7 men. Every time something like this happens, and it happens frequently enough to tourists and multiple times a day (90+ is the officially reported number!!) to our own citizens too, it's a missed opportunity for all levels of government, local and state authorities, and the private sector to come together to put an end to this pattern of apathy and disrespect towards women in India. As a son, husband, and new dad, I don't want to see the next generation growing up in a society or country where bigotry, rape, and racism are normalised. I'd rather we all try and take it head-on, initiate a meaningful dialogue, and do something about the things we otherwise have become rather desensitised to. So I call on fellow founders and companies including Bold Care MyMuse India Sangya Project The Flapper Life Rajat Jadhav Harsh Singh Rahul Krishnan Sahil Gupta Anushka Gupta Shweta Sangtani Zinal Doshi to come together and design what could be a game-changing initiative if all the players in the emerging Sexual Wellness space in India came together, to work together with the support of their celebrity co-founders and investors like Ranveer Singh Deepika Padukone Suniel Shetty Vineeta Singh to name a few, key government stakeholders at every level starting with National Commission for Women - India and others to take a firm stand and drive mainstream and grassroots sex-education to put an end to sexual violence against women in India and ensure we update policies that fast-track justice for victims. I'd like to help in any way I can. Will you? #SexualWellness #sexualviolence #sexeducation #India #internationalwomensday https://lnkd.in/gpTNnwrE

For many of us, having the freedom to choose has been a constant. We’ve made choices every day, often without considering the privilege that comes with it. But for countless women and girls, especially in India, this freedom is not guaranteed. Every choice we make shapes our destiny, steering our lives in new directions. Yet, many girls are robbed of this power, denied the basic right to decide their own futures, and are trapped in cycles of abuse, violence, and exploitation. In anticipation of the International Day of the Girl, we at My Choices Foundation stand with our Founder,?Elca Grobler?and recommit, to restoring the power of choice to every woman and girl, by giving them the freedom to make choices to live a life free from abuse, violence and sexual exploitation. #stopdomesticviolence? #endhumantrafficking? #genderbasedviolence

Unmasking Rapists: The mind behind a heinous crime Rape is a heinous crime that leaves victims with deep emotional scars, while society grapples with the unsettling reality of what drives such acts. Research shows that rape is not about sexual desire, but power and control. By exploring the roots of this violence—such as toxic masculinity and dehumanisation—we can better understand the complex motivations behind rape and the importance of supporting survivors. This is a conversation we must have, for the sake of change. #EndRapeCulture #StopViolenceAgainstWomen #SupportSurvivors #ToxicMasculinity #RapeAwareness #RapistsMind #BreakTheSilence #GenderEquality #VictimsRights #PuneMirror #AnaumShaikh #NewsAnchor #Journalist (rape, toxic masculinity, power and control, psychological traits, rape culture, sexual violence, survivor support, societal stigma, gender violence, victim's rights) https://lnkd.in/dQUin-i9

So, yesterday while wandering through the shadow library, I found a book titled "TAKEDOWN - inside the fight to shut down Pornhub for child abuse, rape and sex trafficking" by Laila Mickelwait, and after reading it, realizing that one of the reasons for rape and other related heinous crimes in this age of modernity and wokeness is easy access and availability of unverified porn and sexual content on the Internet. This book addresses several heart-breaking cases of such incidents, where the trauma of the victims was immortalized on the internet for monetary gains by the multibillion-dollar heartless conglomerate MindGeek & Pornhub. These inhuman acts of abuse, harassment and pure violation of human rights were available for anyone to view and download for almost two decades until someone who cared looked at it and did not turn their eyes away. Laila Mickelwait - the author and the founder of the #Traffickinghub movement, protest and resistance was someone who cared enough to look AND DID NOT TURN THE OTHER WAY, which eventually led to the victory for their cause and end of the constant suffering of hundreds of thousands of victims that we know of. As we all know about the horrific epidemic of rape cases spread throughout India, especially Kolkata and the massive and obvious coverups orchestrated by the Kolkata Government and the principal as well as the administration of the RG Kar medical college, a name that has been smeared way too many times in the past for several nefarious acts, decisions and coverups. All I ask from the nation, and everyone is to not just to TURN AWAY from these matters of utmost importance which pose a serious question to the Nation's effort to upkeep, regulate and maintain the largest democracy in the world and its freedom which was obtained after a struggle of almost 20 decades and demanded sacrificial martyrdom from millions of suffering lives. In these difficult times, when the line between the good & bad, honest & dishonest, moral and immoral, get blurred, we need to recalibrate our moral compass and stand on the side of all those who are directly and indirectly suffering from the trauma of such inhuman acts. My heart writhes for the souls of these victims and I stand with the suffering and departed souls of the victims.
