BSAFE: Women shout hoarse. The war cries are loud, engaged and energized that say “ We want to be safe, not to be RAPED, Give us freedom not Fear-dom, Stop violence against women, Let’s talk about women’s safety”.
Yes women are coming forward to use their voices and their influence to demand real change. Yet it feels at times that victimising women is some sort of planet-wide policy. Every single day single women, young girls, mothers and women from all walks of life are being assaulted, molested, and violated. The streets, public transport, public spaces in particular have become the territory of the hunters. While the ones already hunted down weep in silence or in disdain, the rest fight their way to abasic life with dignity. There is an unspoken war on the streets. We know the stories.
The Bangalore Political Action Committee has taken a stand to change them.
They have built a community of citizens who call themselves AGENT B.SAFE. Their job is to be watchful of any danger a girl or woman may encounter and report to the police. They also sensitise and create awareness about what can be done in such a scenario for the safety of our women
Here is a small animation video we created to mobilise these inspired and noble volunteers.
