Caught In the Middle
Maternal Grandmother (disapprovingly): Is that a T-shirt or a dress? It’s not safe to go out dressed like that. Paternal Grandmother (disapprovingly): You don’t wear heels yet?

One for the Men
Most of the time, when an activist speaks out against domestic violence, it’s a woman. Most NGO’s are populated with more women than men, with the bulk of the latter only taking on the more technical side of things.

What Sexual Harassment Means To The Average Delhi Girl
Honestly, I’m one of the lucky few in Delhi who’s never been eve-teased or targeted in any way. But that doesn’t mean that I haven’t experienced these things in my surroundings. And it would be useless to deny that they’re a huge part of my life. Because they are, just as they are for any [...]
