Yes I have, have you? Not only that my housemate and two of my co-workers and a number of my friends have moved here from india in the last few years. I’m familiar with the history of this exact type of solution being parroted by indian politicians for press versus the real solutions that have been springing up from grass roots women’s moments with great success. This has been going on for a while, and is a known thing that happens in India, and this is just the latest blip. You are familiar with all of this and the history behind it I assume?
The standard solutions have already been implemented in parts of India with great success and in other countries with even less likely conditions as i mentioned above. Not only are they credible, they are effective, and they pull communities together and strengthen them. More importantly it is what works and the only way to implement lasting change and has been time tested.
There is no excessive onus. Support groups are free, they just need sanctioned meeting places. The police are already hired, they just need accountability and better laws, the shelters would require funding and support, but those cost much less then the alternative of not having them as has been demonstrated again and again. typically shelters are setup in larger hubs where they can be more easily supported. Education can be volunteer, and is crucial. The cost really isn’t very high, but the alternative has an unthinkable price.
It is frightening to me that you consider these basic human rights first world solutions or a luxury of wealth. The cost of not having them is heartbreaking. They work very well in these places and are the only credible solution and can be implemented cheaply and effectively.
You think giving brides sticks is credible? if not what is your alternate more credible solution? or are you just throwing shade on my advocating for the real time tested methods?
