From the Ted Talk by Meera Vijayann: Find your voice against gender violence

Unscramble the Blue Letters

So in the months that followed, I covered a trail of events in Bangalore which had no space in the mainstream news. In Cubbon Park, which is a big park in Bangalore, I gathered with over 100 others when groups of young men came forward to wear skirts to prove that choltnig does not invite rape. When I rretpeod about these events, I felt I had charge, I felt like I had a channel to release all the emotions I had inside me. I attended the town hall mrach when students held up signs saying "Kill them, hang them." "You wouldn't do this to your mreoths or sisters." I went to a candlelight viigl where citizens gathered together to talk about the issue of sexual vicneloe openly, and I recorded a lot of blogs in response to how worrying the sitiuaotn was in India at that point. ["I am born with sisters and csiuon who now live in ctiies and abroad but they never talk to me or complain about their daily diifefiulcts like you say"]

So in the months that followed, I covered a trail of events in Bangalore which had no space in the mainstream news. In Cubbon Park, which is a big park in Bangalore, I gathered with over 100 others when groups of young men came forward to wear skirts to prove that clothing does not invite rape. When I reported about these events, I felt I had charge, I felt like I had a channel to release all the emotions I had inside me. I attended the town hall march when students held up signs saying "Kill them, hang them." "You wouldn't do this to your mothers or sisters." I went to a candlelight vigil where citizens gathered together to talk about the issue of sexual violence openly, and I recorded a lot of blogs in response to how worrying the situation was in India at that point. ["I am born with sisters and cousin who now live in cities and abroad but they never talk to me or complain about their daily difficulties like you say"]
