ravishingravi Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 NEW DELHI: The ****walk movement, where women have hit the streets worldwide with provocative clothes and slogans against sexual harassment, comes to Delhi on Sunday. The route is shorter than originally planned and the attendance tentative, but supporter and organizers of the ****walk Arthaat Besharmi Morcha campaign are confident of making a strong statement. The campaign has earned the support of a few celebrities, some of whom are likely to participate in the walk. "Nafisa Ali and Gul Panag will be there and designers Sanjana Jon and Niket Mishra may also attend," said Mishika Singh, an organizer. Participants are expected to assemble outside Free Church on Parliament Street at 10.30am. The walk will proceed to YWCA guesthouse, Jantar Mantar Road and back. The new route is much shorter than the original one, which included Parliament Street police station, Patel Chowk and Asoka Road. "We were told by Delhi Police that since the monsoon session of Parliament begins on Monday, Section 144 (which prohibits assembly of five or more people at one point) will be imposed in the area till September. That's why we had to shorten the route," said Mishika. They might get lucky, though, as a senior police official said that despite the imposition of Section 144, they might reconsider and allow the campaigners to walk the original route if participants are in controllable numbers. Organizers say they expect quite a crowd as flyers have been distributed during street plays and weekly debates t o promote the campaign as it unfolded across the world. In the days leading up to the walk, they also flooded Delhi University with campaign posters, and with a team of about 25 volunteers distributed flyers in North Campus. "We had performed plays in South Campus and had distributed flyers, then we focused on North Campus before the walk," said Diksha Dumra, the organizer and public coordinator of the campaign in the city. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/****walk-comes-to-Delhi-today/articleshow/9424208.cms So, is the S word cool again. It is no longer sexist or degenerating or disrespectful to call a woman s@#t. Way to go !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomainK Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 It's a total attention seeking campaign. The women who truly suffer from harassment, sexual or otherwise are not going to benefit from it. Just an instance of some attention seekers capitalizing on others sufferings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda-esque Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 This is a classic example of aping the west.They do those things there because they actually work. If you want to stop this eve teasing and sexual harassment, publish their photos in the newspapers the next day and have the police thrash them. Laathon ke bhooth baaton se nahi maante.

straighttalk Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 complete useless exercise...a rapist is ultimately responsible for his actions and deserves the highest possible punishment. but a woman dressed provocatively is ultimately baiting him. is her rape justified ..hell no but she is acting a bit stupidly in my opinion. i know she has a right to wear anything..and personal freedom and all. ya she is but unfortunately it sends a message which is wrongly construed by the rapists and their ilk. it doesnt justify rape but it puts u at a danger. and this kind of **** walk is an effort in vain ..promoted by people for fame money and partying.

Ram Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Find it disconcerting that a few women are proudly choosing themselves to be called S L U T S. Even if you discard that a cheap publicity gimmick to garner news, a) there’s nothing S L U T T Y about walking on the streets in Salwar Kameez, T-shirts and Jeans. That is what most of these women do anyway. That completely beats the original point. This is like men doing a Western fashion walk in their lungis :dontknow: And b) if you’re going to protest ill-treatment of women, make your protest new and original. At least then, you will have remote chance of being taken seriously. A shameless copy of the concept from the West and botched up execution of the idea aint gonna cut it.. :headshake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkfreud Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 This campaign was bound to be an epic :emc: ever since it touched down in India by kicking off in Delhi, of all places, where women would shudder before taking to Dilli streets in fishnet stockings and thongs, which is what women in the West are doing because some dumba** cop in Toronto allegedly said women invite sexual harassmant by dressing like s**ts. Hence this campaign. It's going to take off in Mumbai come September, which is actually more befitting because the Shiv Sena had once said that women are 'calling for trouble by dressing cheaply' or some crap like that. Chances are that women will be more 'freely' dressed, but the fact that attention w**re Poonam Pandey, of all people, will be spearheading it is just :facepalm: and an exercise in futility.

Prakat Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Apparently, girls in bangalore have been carrying out the same campaign in a much more low-key, widespread manner for almost a decade now. Every summer, hundreds of girls in jeans wear waist-length tops and low-slung jeans that display liberal amounts of butt cleavage. The effects are more prominent when the girl is riding pillion on her boyfriend's bike. This is informally known as "butt-crack season" in classy circles. The net result is that over the years Bangalore itself is quite chilled and relaxed when it comes to what women wear in public (this apparently has always been the case, just a question of degrees). I suppose the boys are suitably desensitized by prolonged exposure and are not driven to lusty acts at the unexpected sight of buttage and/or boobage.

EnterTheVoid Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Fully agree with this walk. You not being able to keep it in your pants is the problem, not women dressing revealingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkfreud Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Fully agree with this walk. You not being able to keep it in your pants is the problem, not women dressing revealingly. I too agree with it, but its execution has been poor in India (not to mention it being out of context). It kicked off in Toronto immediately after that cop made that deplorable remark about women inviting abuse, and that's basically what this campaign is about. It's more 'specific'. In India, specifically Delhi, women took to the streets to protest issues of a much larger nature like eve teasing, molestation, harassment. How is the s**twalk there going to change the mentality of Delhi guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Peter Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 S***walk is nothing but an opportunity for unattractive, fat women to pretend that they are pretty enough to be rapeworthy Dressing according to ones pleasure ( within permissible limits of country's law ) is everyone's right but accepting the risk associated with it would be wise. Law has same punishment whether victim was dressed provocatively or not but it is always wise to prevent emergence of risk factors of any problem.

So in that effect, a woman has to be watchful and think twice about wearing something because a creep can't keep it in his pants? Nice. That's exactly why this campaign took off abroad in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Peter Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 So in that effect' date=' a [b']woman has to be watchful and think twice about wearing something because a creep can't keep it in his pants? Nice. That's exactly why this campaign took off abroad in the first place. Woman , Man everyone has to be watchful about there actions , implement proper ethnics in public places to ensure there personal safety . Do you safely lock your house before going out in order to protect your valuable stuff or you leave it open under the justification that " I dont need to take any preventive measures just because some anti-social groupies cant stop stealing "? Your house may get robbed in any case but atleast choosing the safer option increases your chances of avoiding the theft . In this case , I am not saying that women should be locked inside 4 walls or cover themselves in " Ninja Suits " to avoid being victims of rape but in some rare cases a little responsible behaviour from the victims could have avoided the incident .
