The premise of Women Talking—where survivors of sexual violence discuss what must be done after they were attacked—is an uncanny representation of how society deals with sexual violence.

We say 'human civilisation' but in reality, perhaps men never really evolved from their caveman mindset to date.

In a shocking incident in South Mumbai, A 30-year-old hostel guard identified as Prakash Kanojia allegedly raped and strangulated an 18-year-old woman in her hostel room.

Her mother pulled her hand and made her sit on the bed. “How can you behave like nothing happened, dear? Your whole life is ruined now!”

In Indian society, men are held on a higher pedestal than their women counterparts. That is a fact, albeit a sad one, no matter how much you try to sugarcoat it.
