Every day the newspapers bring more news of girls and women abused, raped, murdered, with increasing impunity. Where is this going?!

Only 1 of 4 in the Hathras case have been held guilty under Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) by a UP court. All four are held not guilty of gang rape.

Prostitution is a solution, not the problem. It is a solution to earning a living over stealing, or worst killing someone for the same. It is the balm for those devoid of sex and pleasure in their lives. It is a profession for those who want to practice it in a dignified manner.

When misogynist movies like Love Today glorifying toxic masculinity are the blockbusters, we definitely need to question, “Are we really progressive?"

A beautiful and free-spirited girl must be shameless and uninhibited. To them, she is nothing less than a prostitute, and self-crowned moral custodians of our culture continue to rub their hands in glee as they conjure up non-existent affairs.
