By Sanjana Sanghi:
The harassment after harassment is by far the most debilitating. Knowing this as a mere fact is one thing, yet understanding the gravity of it is an entirely different thing. To aid us in this process, Himani Auplish has created a series of 5 artworks, which accurately explain the societal reactions and stereotypical notions associated with sexual harassment.
Showing skin is not a crime, rape is.
Sex is not a crime, rape is.
These issues, and more, are the ones which stand in complete opposition to the patriarchal and sexually discriminating society that we live in. They instantaneously challenge the typical mindsets that make a survivor of sexual harassment undergo the entire cycle of harassment a second time over, through societal neglect, name calling, and alienation. Such creative and simplistic visualizations allow us to be reminded of all that is wrong with society, and urge us to never agree to be a part of such a grossly humiliating scenario, wherein an already traumatized survivor is subjected to different kinds of emotional and psychological trauma all over again.

Please also raise your voice for those tens of thousands of innocent men rotting in Indian jails over false cases of rape, molestation, dowry, domestic violence and assault, how they are tortured in Indian jails, and how their life, career, reputation, family, and future has been ruined.

Why was my comment deleted? Truth too much to handle?
India is world’s capital of false rape cases.
False rape cases soar in Delhi as number of acquittals hits 78 per cent

75% of rape cases are false. 98% of dowry cases are fake. Google it.
When a woman is raped, the media goes berserk, there is an uproar from feminists, documentary after documentary, but when an innocent man is lynched publicly in a false case of rape in Nagaland no one talks about it, and the culprit walks free because she is a woman.
Shame on your double standards.

Agreeing with what is depicted here but want to mention that in India, prostitution is still a crime…..
Nevertheless Nice posters, at least creating awareness with humor…..

Posters are innovative, humorous. Writing skills excellent! But it’s too much biased for females. Media and all such activists shouted loud when the news of rape and afterwards hanging of two sisters from a tree came in but none spoke a word when the actual news came in which showed that it was totally fake and her family member only gave way to that incident (only killing) for personal grudges but put the blame on some innocent youths of the village just to take revenge. Please try to even look upon the other side even. I am from Bihar and I have 8463 panchayats over here out of which around 2000 Mukhiyas are females but not a single one dares to work herself. Someone’s Husband, other one’s son or brother is the actual power behind the chair. So if the law is giving them opportunity to come forward, handle the chair, implement laws then they are the ones who still want to be “chakla belan chalaane waali” only and put their male counter part in front then how come this situation can be overcomed? On the other side feminists shout for equal rights! It’s totally ridiculous! I was even of same thinking like you people but finally my mind set changed when I worked for rural India’s development. I happened to come across some hard truths. 🙁
