Skim through any newspaper or switch on any news channel, and you will find an alarming number of sexual abuse cases, some by strangers and some by people close to the victim. That’s not even the worst news. The actual tragedy is that only 1 in 100 cases of sexual violence are actually reported in India.
The odds are stacked high against women safety, but as they say, knowledge is power. One of the most effective ways to nip sexual violence is to increase awareness among women about their rights. The light of knowing their rights will drive out the darkness of fear that they live in. Amnesty International and BlogAdda bring you the #KnowYourRights activity.
Theme: Blog about 3 reasons why you think it is important to encourage reporting sexual violence.
Amnesty International has launched the #KnowYourRights campaign, which is a people’s rights educational program aimed at informing people of their basic rights via free educational modules on digital and physical media because knowing one’s rights gives one the confidence to take action. Tell us why you think survivors of sexual violence should come forward to report the crime and not brush it under the carpet.

Its time not to look the victim as the offender.
