In early 2008, a series of women started getting physically attacked. While thousands of women have been molested and teased on a regular basis, physical violence in the public domain against women was unheard of, until this point. It was also preceded by an incident of beating up women at a pub in the coastal city of Mangalore. The culprits were never found out, but it became clear that while these women were getting attacked, the public was totally indifferent and did not come forward to help. The police turned out to be indifferent as well with some of them blaming the women for indecent clothing or behaviour! More than ten women were attacked in a horrifying blitzkrieg. Maraa’s main engagement in this campaign was to create awareness and dialogue about this both on the streets and in mainstream print and broadcast media. Read more about the campaign
