Social networking does provide a powerful mode of conversation that allows women and men who want to make a difference to do so. The death of the young woman in India as tragic as it was has opened the eyes of so many people but the attention is already dieing off. We have to keep the conversation alive.

Then I went to his profile, and found the link to your blog. I completely agree with both you and Shukhon, Ingrid. Men do need to be involved, and educated as well. Also, there's no point in burying your head in the sand and thinking that this doesn't happen around you. Around the time that the Delhi rape took place, I came across a blog entry of a woman who was abused when she was in university. She was drugged and raped, and it all happened in the campus; the rapist was in the same university. She did not get the justice she deserved from the university authorities. The culprit wasn't even expelled! And it all happened in the US. I don't remember the name of the university. I also learned that rape in university campuses is a pretty common phenomenon in the US. To say that I was shocked would be an understatement.<br /><br />It doesn't matter if you're a Bangladeshi, or an Indian, or even an American. Women aren't safe anywhere. If we really do want to create a safe environment for our children (both daughters and sons), we as a society have to work towards it, and that definitely includes men.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15155193286753434561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768949389033736516.post-48912630052833756702013-01-02T08:13:11.056-08:002013-01-02T08:13:11.056-08:00Ladies and Gentleman.."Priscilla Kluge McMull...Ladies and Gentleman.."Priscilla Kluge McMullen" one of my heroes!

Education and change have to start at the roots...daring legislators who are not afraid to speak up and pass legislation on women's rights as well as on humanity in all its forms (no matter in what part of the world!). Research has shown that women legislators have an impact on the content and style of governing so, for the sake of all of us, elect women! Women in government who reflect our values and our rights.Priscilla Kluge McMullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16584338791214091422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768949389033736516.post-89926439291985993252013-01-02T07:54:38.238-08:002013-01-02T07:54:38.238-08:00Than you so much for your kind words of encouragem...Than you so much for your kind words of encouragement.

I understand your frustration regarding sexual violence and it's prevalence everywhere. Do you think that part of the digital violence that you are seeing is also cowardice? The internet is a safe way for a coward to act out. <br /><br />I want to believe that all of these terrible reports have the potential to truly implement change. These conversations are so important. <br /><br />I'm eager to learn more about you and the work that you do.

I felt that to try to give awareness is the most important thing at the moment.<br />I believe that all men and women have dignities and compassion but they have been hidden inside. So we need the wake up their soul and open their eyes to the tragedy.

Although my issue is nowhere close to the abuse women in India receive and the tolerance Indian customer service staff has towards 'digital violence' when they are supposed to be dealing with it on behalf of western companies. <br />I have been digging into the issue of 'digital sexual violence' and my research has led me to a connection between India's abuse of women and Facebook's apathy regarding digital threats and graphic violence. 2 days ago somebody posted photoshopped "she needs to be raped" picture of me, looking like I had serious injuries, just because I criticized rape-humor page. <br />A similar image of a man was removed immediately after the man on the image reported it (his said "there is no stopping the rape train") but Facebook rejected my complaints FOUR times before the news hit the local press and hundreds of people hit the report button. <br />My point is that this 'local' Indian problem is becoming a Global problem under our very noses and it is seriously affecting the life of women all over the world, online and offline.Thorlaughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11861677708712613317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768949389033736516.post-17888531092166294542013-01-01T13:58:29.849-08:002013-01-01T13:58:29.849-08:00Jamie, please ignore my prior post..i followed you...Jamie, please ignore my prior post..i followed your comment to another blog that I thought was yours.

The tragedy is when we fail to utilize what we've learned from the misfortune. This mode of thought can be applied to everything. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and thoughts. This has definitely changed my perspective. Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14241197160797503373noreply@blogger.com
