ARE WOMEN SAFE IN INDIA? | Episode 11 | Girl Guppa Podcast

In light of the recent #KolkataHorror, we decided to release this episode earlier than planned to address the burning issue of women’s safety. In this episode, we explore how society has manipulated us into believing that the burden of safety falls solely on women. This constant vigilance makes it impossible for women to truly relax or enjoy themselves without the fear of a potential predator lurking nearby. While we acknowledge that #NotAllMen engage in predatory behavior, it's undeniably #AllWomen who face the daily anxieties and challenges associated with the threat of harassment.This episode is dedicated to those who couldn’t speak up, and challenging the toxic narratives that place the blame on victims instead of addressing the underlying societal problems. We discuss the importance of shifting the conversation to focus on creating a safer environment where women can live without the constant fear of being targeted. By acknowledging these issues and taking collective responsibility, we can work towards genuine change and a safer future for all women.00:00 - Teaser 01:23 - A message from us about the Kolkata incident 03:33 - Intro04:28 - Why our mental health is down in the dumps 05:28 - Sidhikka’s horror story on the road09:20 - What is safety even anymore?10:06 - My friend was stalked for months 12:02 - Why women NEED a ladies’ compartment 13:00 - We’ve faced this even as children14:00 - Women’s Pink toilet aren’t really serving their purpose15:43 - We JUST KNOW our friend’s in trouble in a cab16:55 - Public transport is a literal hellhole for women 19:08 - Women are one of the most vulnerable community ever20:12 - What we do to be safe21:26 - The ONLY time I ever felt safe at night23:09 - Even in other countries, we’re not really safe24:46 - More things we do to stay safe26:50 - Women preparing for date vs men preparing for a date29:11 - Sexual assault prevention tips GUARANTEED to work!30:50 - A message from us about the #KolkataHorrorLinks https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-zXOl8S6lH/?igsh=NWk2eGJ3cGJrem44https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-7AWBQyKal/?igsh=MXEwYXhxbXNqcXp3dw==https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/in-kolkata-rape-murder-case-supreme-court-orders-removal-of-name-photos-videos-of-victim-6380850 para 3 quotehttps://rishihood.edu.in/crime-against-women-rape-cases-in-india/https://prsindia.org/billtrack/prs-products/prs-legislative-brief-3028https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-xbqXUtFPd/?igsh=MTc4NmI2MWxhenRrcA==HOW MEN SHOULD HOLD OTHERS ACCOUNTABLE!https://www.instagram.com/p/C-2-ZFByUZa/?igsh=azcyeXRya2o2cnNlhttps://www.instagram.com/p/C-wtMQmtr0B/?igsh=MWtnNDcwc28ybm9kdg==PODCAST AUDIO AVAILABLE TO STREAM ON Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/girl-guppaAmazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/facc73fe-d024-457f-b1b4-ef341100cd03/girl-guppaYoutube @GirlGuppaPodcastAudioInstagram Arushi @CurlmoohiSidhikka @Sidhikkahttps://www.instagram.com/GirlGuppaEmailGirlGuppa @ Gmail.comSidhikka @ WorldmentMedia.comTags - women's safety, all-women spaces, female empowerment, women-only classes, dance classes for women, safe spaces for women, women's community, girls' dance classes, women's comfort, female bonding, women supporting women, women empowerment activities, safe environments for women, all-girls dance classes, women in safe spaces,Kolkata rape case, women safety, sexual violence, justice for women, gender equality, women's rights, India crime news, women's safety laws, victim support, women's protection, gender-based violence, public safety, women's empowerment, legal justice, rape culture.
