COVER STORY
As the Johnny Depp judgment opens a can of worms, legal experts in India say sexual harassment of women is deep-rooted and can’t be eradicated only through the legal route
온라인 카지노 사이트 Magazine - 27 June 2022
The #MeToo movement is about empowerment. But the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial reveals its faultlines.
-
As most of the aggressors named and shamed in #MeToo remain unscathed, the women’s battles are far from over even though the social media-generated movement created unprecedented solidarity among women against their sexual predators.
The progress is slow, the resistance to recognition and redress of sexual harassment in the workplace is high, but across India, the tide might just be turning
The effect of the #MeToo movement can be seen percolating into India’s vast rural hinterlands. But a lot still remains to be done.
Protest and consent are two sides of a coin and in the absence of one, the other becomes a choice, albeit in the garb of coercion. For the LGBTQAI+ community then, is the ‘right to consent’ invariably denied?
How does an 18-year-old speak up in 2005 about a man who claims to be best friends with the state’s CM? An attempt to bring a perpetrator named in the #MeToo movement to book resulted in fingers being pointed at the victim
Across states where insurgencies are rife, women are among the worst victims during security operations as justice elude the victims and errant security personnel are protected by the political machinery to save the government from embarrassment.
Can free speech have any redline? Are taunts at the Prophet of Islam deliberately aimed to provoke reaction? These are vexing questions the world has been trying to come to terms with, in the age of globalisation.
Himachal Pradesh CM Jairam Thakur talks to 온라인 카지노 사이트’s Ashutosh Bhardwaj on several issues ranging from the Khalistan challenge in Himachal, Mohan Bhagwat’s statement on Gyanvapi to student politics of the state. Edited excerpts:
#MeToo is a movement that dared to collectivize suffering, empathy, and perhaps hope. The celebrity trial in the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case might have jeopardised the #MeToo movement but it is important to once again collectivise and rise.
