Devendra: Getting to the Core of the Matter

Devendra of Sagar district, says, “I used to object to my sister wearing trousers as I feared she would be sexually harassed on the streets. I have seen this happen many a time. After I joined the campaign, I realised that it is not what clothes women wear that is the problem but the attitude of men. If men wear what they wish, then why should there be restrictions on women. I have realised that I should not chastise my sister but the men who pass lewd comments or make unwarranted gestures and moves.”
