WHY (SOME) INDIAN MEN RAPE?

“Why (some) Indian Men Rape” is a multimedia gender journalism and activism project that spans two books, a documentary and an active online presence, over several years. With it, Tara Kaushal and her research team will explore the gamut of unique ethnological reason that cause sexual violence in the subcontinent.

 Some Indian men are, undoubtedly, perpetrators of sexual violence of varying degrees and contributors to the rape pandemic in the country. It is the motives of these men, and the ethnographic paradigms that allow them to thrive, that she is seeking to uncover.

Pass the Mic is a platform she endorses to broadcast personal stories of survival; launch real-time public campaigns to fight discriminatory practices in society and policies; and profile allies who stand against sexual violence. United as an empowered community that is unwilling to stay silent about things that matter. Together, the fight the fierce.
