WARNING: ITS ALL CRAP

I have nothing much to say today
But still I want to write...
So its gonna be all crap .... those who dont like crap .... please VANISH from my site!!

Today I can say that I am contributing to the society in a small way.
I am making a film .... he he I wish !!! actually assisting the director who is making a film on sensitizing .... NO WRONG WORD ... simply training doctors about how a standard forensic examination is imperative to raise the conviction rate and provide justice to sexually violated females.

Its interesting ! but I don't know If our approach is right.
IMA gave us a movie which outlined the entire forensic investigation and evidence collection in case of a rape victim. The kind of material they use are expensive, sophisticated. All we have to really do is find a girl who will be a model on whom the examination will be conducted. We are trying to tell the doctors that look this is how a report is written. This is how you look through the microscope. This is how you take the victim's consent before touching her body. This is how you behave in a non judgemental manner. This is how you cant behave with her. This is how you report all findings carefully to the police. This is how you need to follow up after the evidence collection is over. This is how you form a rapport with the victim. This is how you treat her psychologically. This is how you attend to her first and foremost and not leave her waiting till your other appointments are over. This is why you are called God.


I am glad that I am a part of this project. Maybe it is going to be a success ... may be not. Maybe we will get an appointment from Sonia Gandhi... maybe not.
Maybe Rape Crisis Centres will open up in Delhi and maybe not. But its worth a try.

At this point I want to meet a rape victim. There are so many of them ... 3 months old to 70 years old. Raped by neighbour, brother, servant,father, teacher...
I wonder if they will ever be able to trust any man. Even their own husband.
Well thats a different issue .. that I feel strongly about .... Husbands are raping their wives every time they force her to make love to them. It might happen every night. And the fucking society which makes all these rules of marriage never comes to rescue her then.When an unmarried woman has sex with her boyfriend ...she also maybe forced to have sex with him out of the fear that her boyfriend will leave her... we say they made a mistake. We tell the girl to learn to say NO.
But just because now she is married to the same man .... she is expected to do it as a part of her domestic responsibilty or what!!!! Why cant she say nOOOO. And why does it have to be such a big issue if she does. Why is this form of rape LEGITIMATE??.


I know of children who have seen their fathers approach their mothers almost every night ... even when the child is sleeping on the same bed.

Their whole concept of sex gets distorted.


Anyway .. I can on and on about all this. Others might have written pages and pages on the same issue. But the point is that we feel till such time that everything is alright inside our house .... we can only sympathise with other people's problems but what can we really do... IT IS THEIR PERSONAL ISSUE.
But I think there are no personal issues .... all issues are HUMAN.


See I warned you .. I am going to write crap.
