Sexual Harassment to children — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 06:02:26 +0000

Sexual harassment parties, travel,roads etc. is a very common news which we hear. Most of the peoples are not aware about sexual harassment and its very important to make them aware, this will help us to decrease occurring sexual harassment at our work place. By the help of Pria’s (NGO) website we can came to know a lots of things base on sexual harassment. It’s my personal experience that this website help girls a lot and its also very helpful for the teenagers, whom we are not fluent to explain and we can share our views and queries to others in its forum……

@Vee: Ahem…coming from you, I feel suspicious. 😛 But this one time, I will try to give you a benefit of doubt and graciously say ‘thank you’.

@Anu: Thanks for such profusely kind words. 🙂

Nope, I was not referring to arguing on blog. Meant arguments we have in real-life discussions. Generally.

See you at Part 2 then. 8)

Whoa! Great interview!

Jump in the Ganges from a cliff and 62 books in 2009?? 😮 You sure are one awesome person !! 🙂 Really cool !! 😉

As far as arguing on your blog goes, they say it’s necessary to maintain a neutral persona whilst interacting with readers and fellow bloggers but if there’s a point that needs to be put across which you think won’t go very well with your readers, you might as well stay mum than end up hurting their sentiments..

Congratulations on being interviewed..!! Now I’ll go over to Part 2 🙂

@Masood, Uma: Thanks for both your kind words. Second part should be up anytime today I guess. Hope you find that interesting too.

And yes Uma, you should try out adventure sports. Make sure that operators (those who run rafts, para sail equipment) are reputed and safe, then you can relax and let go with freedom.

@IHM: I love it when you take on people like School Principals and real life errant men.

As for ‘sexist jokes’, it is not ‘cool’ these days to tell men that you don’t like them. You are treated as prude which you are not or worse as a spoilsport. A reverse discrimination also follows if you voice your opinions. I am glad to know bloggers like you who can understand what I mean.

Poonam I also agree with you absolutely about women’s issues. Our educators come from the same society and do a lot of damage. The school Principle in one of the schools my kids went to advised the girls not to wear spaghetti straps!! Many schools ask girls and boys not to sit next to each other – and then they wonder why some boys think girls come from some other planet and need to be taught to live like aliens on their own planet.

Also sexists jokes can never make me laugh either. I feel a joke is a easiest, chalta hai kind of put down, – they can get away with “It was just a joke!”
And stereotypes – of all kinds are unfair. I admire the frankness with which you have discussed these points.
I am really glad we have bloggers like you in the Indian blogosphere!!
