“Listen to them.”

The debate of us being a desensitized society has been a wakeup call to many. How much do we not care about? Is it not human to be humane? Chinmayi shares, “How much do we normalize? When the Nirbhaya case had happened, most of the conversations were about why she was out in the middle of the night, in the company of a boy and what was she wearing. The recent child rape case wherein a girl was raped by 16 men, the most common questions asked around was why the child hadn’t told anyone about it. She was hearing impaired! Of all the adults she might have met in life, 16 of them had raped her so who is to say she knew what was going on? She didn’t know it was rape! Victim not only goes through assault but is continuously victimized further when they talk about it. Everybody turns investigator when someone recounts their experience. The victim has to relive and recount the incident over and over so many times that at some point they give up and shut themselves into a shell. And about proof, we cannot constantly go around with a camera recording every instance. What about the person who was groped in a public bus? Do you ask for proof? At some point even our laws have to be amended to include weight to a victim’s voice more than asking for solid evidences.”
