in the pink

amana khan's article on india's pink sari wearing gangs speaks of the 'mini revolution' that's happening amongst some of the poorest women in the country. the gulabis are not looking for violence, but they are trying to earn respect from men, and have the desire to walk the streets without having to fear for their safety. having been in india, i certainly understand what it's like being female and dealing with the constant staring, touching, and grabbing from a large portion of the indian men. being foreign, i was treated in a different manner from the indian women, however the gulabis main concern is domestic abuse, something which affect two out of three married women in india. the gangs will threaten abusive husbands to either stop or face the consequences. keep it up, ladies! http://www.slate.com/id/2260797
