Despite the odds, Taruna Aswani chose to stand up and fight her blackmailer by taking a stand & exposing him on Social Media.
Taruna Aswani chose to stand up and fight her blackmailer who threatened to reveal her private pictures. By taking a stand, she exposed him on social media and inspired many other women.
Digitalisation has revolutionised the world we live in today. It has fundamentally changed the way people access and provide information, communicate, socialise, study and work. Rapid digitalisation has also empowered women by allowing them access to information and knowledge beyond conventional means. It has also provided a platform for expression, which can inspire others, interact and campaign with a view to defending the rights and freedom of women.

Behind the cloak of anonymity, these stalkers reveal the worst side of human nature. Women are especially vulnerable and face the worst of the harassment, including threats to reveal private pictures.

Trigger Warning: This speaks of graphic details of violence against women and may be triggering for survivors.
Anger is a basic human emotion, just like happiness or being sad. One chooses his/her way of expressing that emotion. It is safe until that action stays within oneself.
What happens when that feeling is forced upon another? The former becomes the perpetrator, and the latter turns out to be the victim.
Yuvaraj Shele, a small-time worker from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, did battle many odds and arranged for his mother Ratna’s wedding a few weeks ago. The main point that he put forth was that he felt his mother was lonely and saw the need for her to live happily.
A myth that goes without saying is that only a woman can understand another woman better. What happens when a man does understand what a woman goes through? Especially when the woman is his mother, that too when she is a widow?
This scene does remind of a few movies/web series where the daughter/son do realize their mother’s emotions and towards the end, they approve of their new relationship.
