The Bekhauf Azaadi Campaign Has Called for a Protest Against the
Ordinance that makes a mockery of the Justice Verma Committee
Recommendations.
To understand the injustices they are trying to perpetrate click on this link . It is very disturbing.
As Indian Homemaker commented, be it a 16-year old girl who has sexual contact with her boyfriend to a
married woman who says no to her husband, the ordnance just fails to
accept a woman’s own autonomy and consent as crucial to deciding if rape
occurred or not! The ordnance continues to make excuses for certain powerful perpetrators
of rape: it continues to ensure that certain institutions of power
(marriage/police/army/judges/magistrates/public servants/politicians)
remain protected from prosecution for rape.
If you can make the time to attend I know it will be a victory for the safety of innocent people - both male and female - on our streets and in your own homes. It will defeat power brokers whether in the guise of "authoritative" figures or "moral police".
DATE, TIME, VENUE: 4th of February at 2 pm at Jantar Mantar, New
Delhi.
