The Phoenix's Diary

An ardent follower of  INDIA Uncut by Amit Varma, he recently wrote about a TED Talk.
I can just say hearing the talk was enough to move me.

The talk about sex slavery & human trafficking. Well lot of people come & tell- politicians, NGO activists give long lectures about this problem but this wasn't any social welfare person speaking. The story is about Sunita Krishnan or I may say the thousands of Sunitha Krishnan's. A victim herself at the age of 15 being gang raped by 8 people she didn't let the society victimize her instead she took an journey. A journey to change the perception of the people.

Rape & Trafficking into prostitution these words are common in the newspapers.
Imagine the pain & trauma a rape victim has to be bear and still the society treats her like an outcast. It makes her feel that she is not a part of it.
In Sunitha's words only its the civil society that victimizes a victim. We have come far ahead in the world , we claim to be advanced but here we are still so narrow minded that we treat a victim as 'The criminal'.

Here's the talk 



 The link to her organization & her interview, it is hearting to hear that she was asked to pay tax on donation as she refused to pay bribe to an IT officer.

I request all to pass this story on to at least two people as she asks for in the Talk.
