Hello! The story of your Blank Noise campaign has reached Australia, i read of it today in The Age, I would like to congratulate you all for being so strong and independant. I spent some time in India in early 05 and the amount of sexual harrassment astounded me, gropped, touched and verbal abuse all the time for a month( i yelled an awful lot!), I cannot imagine living with those vulgar men all the time. I am so proud to be a woman when I see a woman and group of women standing up against something they no is wrong. I hope you are getting the support you need fromyour friends and family, a lot of bad behaviour is tolerated in Indiaby men and women alike. i am glad to see you are taking a stad!
Congratulations and good luck!
Thank you Blank Noise for all you are doing to to get rid of this problem in India. As a male and frequent traveller with my wife and daughter thru your wonderful country I have often witnissed this sexual harassment.
Hey!! Following Amber's comment, I read about your campaign in The Age as well and was very surprised that having lived in India for so many years I have never heard about The Blank Noise Project.Thats more a case of me feeling ashamed :/ Congratulations for all the hardwork!!! I have been in similar groping-touching situations in Chennái's public transport and theatres. I'm in awe of women who take charge of bringing about social change. Congratulations again!!!
Dear All,
I have the deepest admiration for you all for coming up with this project.
Great job! Please keep up the good work!
Good job!
Hope it has reached Kerala.
