🔴 Mahilaon ke saath kya hua — BBC report ke mukhya points
BBC ne jin mahilaon se baat ki, unke experiences:
-
Content Creator (mid-20s, naam nahi bataya gaya): Inhone protest ke baad Instagram par first-person accounts share kiye aur volunteers ke liye food aur aid organize ki. Iske turant baad inhein slut-shamed kiya gaya. Inka chehra ek national TV channel par dikhaya gaya, jiske baad social media par inke college ki information leak hui. Inke inbox mein anonymous messages aaye jisme police complaint, beating aur arrest ki dhamkiya di gayin.
-
Student Activist (Muslim woman): Inhone PM Modi ka mazak udane wali satirical videos banayi. Unki photos ko morph karke unhein "anti-national" aur "terrorist" bataya gaya. Inhein "hijra" jaise shabdon se insult kiya gaya. Inke journalist father ne unse pucha ki unhone kyon apni baat rakhi — kyunki Muslim naam hone ki wajah se unhein aur risks ka samna tha.
-
Student (West Bengal): Kolkata protest mein shamil hone ke baad inhein private messages mein prostitute kaha gaya. Inhone fundraiser post delete kar di, social media account private kar diya aur unknown logon ke messages block kar diye. Inhone note kiya ki unke male friends ko same views ke liye target nahi kiya gaya — "jab baat women ki aati hai, response gender ke baare mein ho jaata hai."
-
Anonymous woman: Inke relatives aur acquaintances ne inke parents ko call karke videos delete karne ko kaha. "Jo mujhe ho sakta hai usse zyada main apne parents ke baare mein worried hoon," inhone BBC ko bataya.
