India: A Country that Doesn't Like Women
355,135
Published 2023-10-31
Starting with the village in Rajasthan where female infanticide is a tradition. Few dare to stand up to the men of this village who dictate that baby girls are too expensive and openly admit they don’t want women to be educated for fear of losing their power. The girls that survive childhood will often fall victim to domestic violence, we meet with one such woman back with her parents after escaping her abusive husband. Her family however is keen for her to reconcile with him as her presence brings them shame. The women who dare to stay single and go out at night unaccompanied are at risk of being raped and have very little chance of getting justice as the police often believe that her behaviour means she wanted it to happen. Lastly there are the widows, cast out from their families when their husbands die, with no one to look after them they survive by begging in the streets.

Are the men aware if not for the WOMAN the men would not exist😳

So, murdering babies is not illegal. But leaving one’s husband is. That really says it all.
-
Maybe stopping the tradition of having to pay to marry off their daughters would be a good start??

I am from Canada. An Indian woman went to her parents for shelter from the domestic abuse. She was returned back to her husband 4 times. They lived in a tall apartment building and he threw and pushed her off the 10th floor, to her death. I was in the building across the way and heard her begging for her life and witnessed her death. No words can I say to describe the horror.

Run Indian women. Migrate, create new lives, abusers don’t just get up and change, culture takes forever to change while you suffer. Run!

“Life is as beautiful as the stars and the moon except when it’s covered with clouds of sadness and pain”. To all baby girls who didn’t have a chance at life. To widowed women left to fend for themselves. To victims of domestic violence. To rape victims etc 🙏🙏🙏

I worked for an indian man for 5 years, and he refused to give me the title of manager for YEARS even though i did all the responsibilities for that position. He said that women have no business in leadership or management positions. He was extremely misogynistic over the years, 2 weeks before I left that job, he gave me the title. It took 5 years, and the girl he hired to take my position after i left, she got the title much faster than I. He also hates Americans yet moved to the US and runs a business. My co worker straight up told him that if he hates Americans, then why doesn't he go back to india? Because he has a better life because of Americans.

My Indian coworker said rape is pretty common in India. Especially among family/relatives. His sister was raped by her cousin and reported it to her mom. Her mom did nothing and more or less blamed it on his sister for not "covering up".

What kind of sons let their widowed mothers live in poverty on the streets?
-
As a father of two wonderful daughters, my heart goes out to all but all these mistreated girls and women.
-
Then these men are wondering why young educated women of my state are refusing to marry. Seriously... take a hike

Imagine dedicating your whole to take care of your family to end up being thrown out by the children you gave birth to after your husband death , they might fell the pain of losing loved ones twice , the husband and their children 😢💔
