Men share stories of their fight for women’s rights
The session held by NGO Swayam saw several speakers share personal stories
A tailor had visited his sister-in-laws’ home after she was “beaten up” there. A woman in the house told him that “a little thrashing” by men was common for every woman, including herself. The young man asked whether she would say the same thing if her daughter faced the same treatment after marriage. The woman fumbled for an answer.
The 28-year-old was among several staff and volunteers of an NGO — working for women’s rights — who came together on a virtual platform on Wednesday to share their experiences.
