I took a moment to visit Boing Boing on this quiet Sunday afternoon… and the Blank Noise Project was the top article. The Blank Noise Project is a blogging project featuring Indian women on the subject of sexual harrassment and abuse known as “eve teasing”.There are many many bloggers contributing to this, and I think the effort deserves wide attention. I read a few of the blogs, and this one stood out for me because it referenced the Indian penal code and it is so sad to see good laws on the books going unenforced, or to hear of cases where the defenders of the peace discourage filing of complaints and it seems an act of stoicism to file a compaint against such pressures.
Spread the word.
