Women are human, just like men. Personality traits like kindness are not attached to one's gender. Neither are abusive tendencies such as domestic violence.

Even if we woke up tomorrow to a world of complete equality, most women would still be at a disadvantage compared to men.

Women are the direct victims of violent masculine behaviour. But men are hurt by this too, in ways that even dehumanise them.

From gender stereotypes to warped mindsets, India has to change a lot to achieve equality at the workplace. More so in the law enforcement department.

To tackle sexual assault and violence effectively, we need to free our laws of gender stereotypes.

Most Indians, men and women, are standing by survivors.
