in India.
00:02 - 00:04
The rate that crimes were committed against women is higher
00:05 - 00:07
than a lot of other places in the world, with
00:08 - 00:11
more than 300,000 crimes being reported in 2016 alone.
00:12 - 00:13
And that's just what was reported.
00:14 - 00:18
There's actually estimated to be around 650 million crimes, including
00:19 - 00:22
what did not get reported in this story.
00:23 - 00:26
I'll be discussing two cases of violence and discrimination against
00:26 - 00:29
Indian women and the protests going on because of them.
00:31 - 00:33
And while protests aren't really a mark of a good
00:33 - 00:37
society, they are markets good people in the society, which
00:37 - 00:39
I believe is just a ZX important.
00:40 - 00:45
Okay, first, there are currently lots of protests going on
00:45 - 00:48
all around India for justice for the woman who died
00:49 - 00:50
of injuries sustained through a gang rape.
00:51 - 00:54
These protests are being held in hopes that the four
00:54 - 00:57
men who were notably in a much higher caste in
00:57 - 01:01
the woman who received the punishment they deserve one of
01:01 - 01:03
the bigger reasons they haven't been charged yet is because
01:04 - 01:05
they're in a very high caste.
01:06 - 01:09
While the woman herself was in a lower caste that
01:09 - 01:13
I believe was considered one of the untouchables which is
01:13 - 01:18
very unfortunate, and since this is a recent story, there
01:18 - 01:20
is no resolution yet as far as I know.
01:20 - 01:22
But the fact that people are fighting for this woman
01:23 - 01:25
to receive justice is incredibly important.
01:29 - 01:33
Now let's talk about the Sabari Moloch Temple the Onley
01:33 - 01:34
people allowed in.
01:35 - 01:38
Traditionally, our men and I believe girls who have not
01:38 - 01:40
had their first menstruation cycle yet.
01:41 - 01:45
Once they've had their first administration cycle, they're effectively banned
01:46 - 01:46
from entering that temple.
01:47 - 01:50
But around the end of 2018 2 women entered the
01:50 - 01:55
temple. Despite this, this action was heavily opposed by the
01:55 - 01:58
Bardia. Do not a party who still oppose it to
01:58 - 02:02
this day, along with other people who are Hindu traditionalists.
02:04 - 02:07
These people actually pro tested the ruling passed by the
02:07 - 02:10
Supreme Court that would allow women to enter the temple,
02:11 - 02:13
which is a pretty good example as to why I
02:13 - 02:15
said protests aren't actually the mark of a good society,
02:16 - 02:19
because in cases like this they aren't being done for
02:19 - 02:19
the right reasons.
02:21 - 02:24
However, it is because of protests done by women and
02:24 - 02:26
other supporters that the ruling was passed in the first
02:27 - 02:30
place. One of the more notable protests done in response
02:31 - 02:34
to this discrimination is the wall that was formed by
02:35 - 02:39
women. This human wall was around 380 miles song and
02:40 - 02:41
was made up of hundreds of thousands.
02:41 - 02:44
Woman I actually found a surprising to learn that the
02:44 - 02:48
government backed this protest, especially after reading about the last
02:49 - 02:52
story in the most recent articles I confined.
02:53 - 02:56
Women are still allowed to enter the temple, despite the
02:56 - 02:58
fact that many people are still in opposition to this.
03:02 - 03:05
To sum up the story, protests can help push the
03:05 - 03:08
size into becoming good, assuming that they are being held
03:09 - 03:09
for the right reason.
03:12 - 03:15
And while there are still many dangers that Indian women
03:15 - 03:19
have to face protesting it, discriminatory laws changed.
03:19 - 03:23
Helped put anti discriminatory laws in place help Roman received
03:24 - 03:27
justice for wrongdoings committed against them and, by extension, discourage
03:28 - 03:29
others from committing these wrongdoings.
