Hi @mintymile
Wow, you are one of the few people who actually spends a lot of time leaving great commentsand that speaks well of you. I imagine you must be a very chatty person.
I have heard and read of terrible things in India, also from Africa, around violence against women. It is unfortunate that this is the case, because at this point in the century we are supposed to be more civilized. And it seems that this is not the case at all.
I see that you have a very active life as an activist, I guess it always involves risk, like everything we do in life. But if it does you good to do it, you have to keep going, there is certainly a lot we can fight for.
Thank you for this wonderful comment.
@josevas217, I was a activist, powered by all the inspiration and support bestowed by Citizens Group.
India is a poor country, crimes happen because most of them are in poverty, and live in bad atmosphere like no food, and slums and they provably do drugs and stuff and no education.
Women are vulnerable weather they are Indian, Venezulean or American when society is patriarcal...
I have some experience in life as a little activist...had a movement of fame, I also lobbied mostly for greenery to save trees and all...
I also acquanted with people who are activists, with lots of experience, a womens group called Shakthi that is lobbying for more women to be in the Parliament so that women are there to make laws on things like these.
No I am not chatty person, but I can be a story teller at times, mostly on activism, travelling and such experiences. All these make me forget fear when I hear about crimes, connect with the outside world, meet awesome people and get experiences to talk about.
I am also a crypto enthusiast and I rabble on crypto to people and they are amazed by my knowledge on it(: ha...ha...
Someday I will tell stories of a person who cycled around India, all villages, Cities spreading the word on Gender freedom and stuff, it has travel bits, experience on food he tasted, experience of interacting with people.
Actually activism, is nothing but making community to lobby for a cause. This is because together, we stand, divided we fall. There is strenght in numbers and you are safe mostly if your a group activitist - plan, stratergise course of action... attract media attension, have groups where you sign petitions, protest outside. They are should be peaceful, without anger so violence don't happen, else your campaign is crushed.
Now, we all are activists, students, muslim ladies, against some Govt. policies, and others who are still comfortable at their homes and their lives, waiting they stand up too and raise voice so we built a better society and all.
But I am no activist now, just someone, doing crypto, reading books, news and spending time with cats. However, activism is fun for sure, being part of it feels good.
