March 8 gets me cynical sometimes what with the social media flooding us with sappy paeans when all that is needed to celebrate women is respect , consideration and support .
Objectifying women gets my goat and patriarchal ways that tend to patronize, subdue and discriminate make me sad .The inability of women to move about safely in many of our our towns/ cities is a bummer indeed.
This year , saw me in action mode on March 8 !
Heading a city chapter of an international women's organisation , i went after a project to create a safe seating space for women in the city's railway station. Women travelers transiting through the station will have a space to safely rest and charge their phones . The spot was selected by the station authorities at such a vantage that the police check-post could keep a watch ...
One of the high points of my year :)
