Break the Silence

An article by Aditi Kapoor

The article by Aditi Kapoor reflects the violence that women face in many parts of India, emphasizing the need for politicians to take steps regarding this issue. The writer has explained the brutal situation faced by women in Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh where they are shot, burnt, raped and thrown in front of running trains. Apart from all these, they are mentally tortured on a daily basis. The article puts light on the efforts of Gayatri Devi, a politician who dealt with the sensitive issue of violence against women (VAW) many years ago and also inspired the future women leaders too to act strongly against VAW. Taking inspiration from Gayatri Devi’s work, today’s politician and political parties can make the difference by acting against VAW.
