What is it like to be a girl-child victim of rape in Nepal? Here's a personal story of a courageous survivor who has now risen above the ordeal and has a touching and powerful message for us all!
I have come across Nepali men, in person, on social media and elsewhere, who, when discussing gender issues, display a very very remarkable lack of knowledge and understanding of the issues faced by our girls and women. In the process, they display their conceit, their complete ignorance of the patriarchal society we live in and how that benefits and privileges us, men.
This is just one example of that.
Cold really is "We serve beer as cold as your ex-girlfriend's heart," if you know what I mean.
(I certainly don't mean the beer or ex's heart.)
Holi has been perverted and is no longer just a day of celebrations with color and water!
Girls and women need to be able to walk free just as boys and men. Boys and men MUST to do what they can to ensure that because every boy and man has a sister or a mother or an aunt or a grandmother or a female cousin or a wife or a female friend. One thing a boy or a man can do easily is be an ally and counter harassment whenever you see it happening.
