Blank Noise Project

Blank Noise Project has been on for a while. I do not know how many of you know about it. Do go through the blog.

Eve teasing is the most ignored crime ever. Every woman has to constantly be subject to it day in and day out. And there is nobody making an effort to stop this. The project is a first step towards a safer world for women. A world where I will not have to carry a safety pin wherever I go. Where you need not wait for hours in the bus stop because the buses which came by were crowded. Where you need not sit at the edge of an auto with your mobile in hand. I know almost every girl knows what I am talking about. And guys if this is all new to you it is high time you get informed.

The current project is about collecting clothes from women. The clothes in which they were subject to eve teasing. It is a common perception that women "ask for it" by wearing the clothes they do. Rubbish. This project is just going to dispell the myth. Please go through this link which explains it better. Women you need to be part of this. The target of 1000 is still far off but still very achievable.
