New Year's Eve Teasers 2
Aussie couple comes forward
A thoroughly dismaying follow up to New Year's Eve Teasers
wherein we learn of multiple assaults on females in Mumbai.
Harassment and molestation takes place on a daily basis in this city,
on the street, on trains, in buses, at bus stops.
The links below are to brief clips from CNN/IBN News video
which give an idea of the challenges that lie ahead for those who
are attempting to bring about change. People I applaud like
the Blank Noise Project in July 2006, and Hollaback NYC
Overpopulation, Poverty, Corruption, Illiteracy and Apathy
all contribute to this escalating problem.
For your mothers, for your sisters, spread the word !
Australian Couple Recalls Molestation Horror
Lee and Maya, a couple from Sydney were in Mumbai
celebrating new year's eve when a mob surrounded them
and molested Maya. The tourist says she was badly bruised
and over 20 men tried to rip off her clothes. The couple
somehow managed to escape and chose not to file any police
complaint either. They only decided to voice their nightmarish
experience after seeing the footage in news reports of a girl
(still untraced) being molested by the mob.

while taking photographs at the Prince of Wales Museum
in the Fort area of the city.
