Thane Youth Reclaim the Night in Silent Walk Against Violence

“Coming from a city that is considered relatively safe within our country can feel like a privilege, but real safety isn't a privilege—it is a basic right. We walked in solidarity for the victims of heinous crimes like the recent assault in Bihar, which are far too often minimized, and for every woman's fundamental right to security, dignity, and free will. While walking, alongside a sense of resolve, I felt deep sadness and anger that we still have to do all of this in the first place. Yet there”

“This was a peaceful movement standing in solidarity with every girl and woman fighting for basic rights. We demand absolute freedom from arbitrary permissions, restrictions, and public judgment. True security will only exist when government bodies take strict action against offenders and boys and men are educated and sensitized to respect women unconditionally.”
