And to make it worse, every now and then, you come across the kind of mentality that attempts to put the blame of such crimes on women one way or another. White some would blame them for provoking men by wearing shorter clothes, others would question their intention of venturing out of their homes post “sanskari hours.”
@SwatiJaiHind दुवारा शुरू किये गये रेप रोको आंदोलन को अब जनता की मजबूत आवाज मिल रही है । आज सीमापुरी के लोगों ने सड़कों पर उतरकर एक स्वर में मांग की – छोटे बच्चियों के बलात्कारियों को 6 महीने के अंदर फांसी दो । @ArvindKejriwal@rape_roko @narendramodi @rashtrapatibhvn pic.twitter.com/mNFE9a1iot— Bhanu Bharatiya🇮🇳 (@BhanuBhaskar5) February 25, 2018
To fight that very ideology that often serves as the breeding ground for a female-oppressing thought-process, a large number of volunteers from Delhi Commission For Women got together on the streets of Delhi in the organization’s “Rape Roko” movement.

Many of these male volunteers were spotted in merely their boxers – to prove that it isn’t the way a woman dresses-up that ignites rapes, but it is the perverted mentality of those who commit such heinous crimes.
The march took place from Mandi House to Central Park – slamming the narrow outlook which attempts to control the way women dress-up or put the blame of sexual atrocities in their lifestyles. The organizers have also asked people to join them in another peaceful protest on March 8, 9:30 AM at Connaught Place – demanding stronger and more stringent laws to punish sexual violators.
DCW chief, Swati also extended her support to the movement, pleading for a “robust justice system.”
“We strongly support the people’s movement ‘Rape Roko’ launched by DCW chief to demand a robust criminal justice system which ensures cases of sexual crimes against women and children are tried by fast-track courts within six months and rapists of children are essentially accorded death penalty as a strong deterrent for others against such crimes”.
Thanks @tweetfromRaghu for supporting #RapeRoko and DCW demand for ensuring trials in sexual assault cases are completed in 6 months.Youth of today need to stand up against rapes. No more Baby Nirbhaya! https://t.co/l5R9ospzWf

This is precisely the way we need to turn heads and also turn mindsets towards a broader thinking society.
You go boys….and girls!
