While the nation is busy applauding or critiquing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s last Independence Day speech, before the 2019 elections, we, team Women’s Web present to you ‘What young women of India demand this Independence Day.’
We went around the streets of Bangalore with our camera and mic to hear what women’s demands are and get them to reach far and wide in this country.
With crimes against women up by 34%, the first thing that women wish for is safety. They want to live free and go around without the constant fear of something bad happening to them. They need no men as their bodyguards, instead they want to be safe alone even at midnight.
It’s a big no from them to be judged by others all the time. They feel it’s like always being under a microscope, closely watched every minute for the minutest of details. Also it’s time for stalkers, harassers and assaulters on roads to mind their own business and let women life their lives.
A few others also felt that education is the key. It is highly important for women as it creates greater awareness. She would know what she needs, what to do and how better to handle crisis situations, if she is well read and better aware of the world.
Many such demands have come from women. Now we need to see how people, society and the government are going to fulfill all these demands by the women of India.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
