Rape and Us



For Us… 

Rape is not rape when its happens to thousands of women across the country 

Rape is rape ONLY when it happens in a moving vehicle at 9.30 pm in Delhi

Rape is not rape when in happens to thousands of tribal women in our resource rich tribal areas

Rape is rape ONLY when it happens in a moving vehicle at 9.30 pm in Delhi to an educated girl

Rape is not rape when it happens to thousands of dalit women in our villages and fields all over the country

Rape is rape ONLY when it happens in a moving vehicle at 9.30 pm in Delhi to modernly dressed English speaking girl

Rape is not rape when it happens to women of minority communities during the communal riots

Rape is rape ONLY when it’s a gang rape in a moving vehicle at 9.30 pm in Delhi

Rape is not rape when in happens in thousands our police stations all across the country

Rape is rape ONLY when it happens in a moving vehicle at 9.30 pm in Delhi

Rape is not rape when it happens to countless poor girls in slums and ghettos

Rape is rape ONLY when it happens in a moving vehicle at 9.30 pm in Delhi

Rape is not rape when it happens in to countless girls in countless brothels all over the country

Rape is rape ONLY when it happens in a moving vehicle at 9.30 pm in Delhi

Rape is not rape when it happens to our women and girls and domestic helps in our own homes

Rape is rape ONLY when it happens in a moving vehicle at 9.30 pm in Delhi by a gang of strangers

We never demand capital punishment for rapists when……………….

They are upper caste goons raping dalit women

They are police men raping women in their custody

They are military and para military raping women of enemy in so called battlefields

They CRPF, BSF, Assam Rifles raping tribal women in North East, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and all those areas with so called extremism

Our reactions to a gang RAPE in Delhi and all those rapes taking place everyday everywhere reflects 
who we are…..
