A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Some parts of the world needs a huge me too movement, something like a major complete revolution.
India has already had several MeToo-like movements (comparable in size and scope). Some people are even starting to turn to violence out of sheer desperation.
The problem there isn't what goes on behind closed doors. They don't even need to close the doors. They can do their shit in public and the only thing that will get anything done is nationwide protests, much like US cop killings against BMEs.
I fear you are right and that a revolution will be what finally tips the scales.
Do Indians not have fathers? I would be out for blood if someone raped my daughter, doesn't matter if she is a full grown adult. I would be taking vengeance into my own hands.
It's worse. There are cases of fathers preforming honor killings of the raped daughter.
In India, women are often blamed for any sexual assault they endure, at a systemic level. Cops will arrest you if you report it, and your father might well take vengeance into their own hands...against you, the victim.
The most likely person to rape a child is the father, followed by the brother, followed by the uncle/cousin/family friend.
Another peaceful revolution like the one from Mahatma Gandhi would be the best.
Why would that be best?
hummm... You do know who this guy is for India and this problem now is in that country right ?
I like non-violent revolutions. What's on your mind ? Am I missing something ?
Just wondering why you liking non-violent revolutions implies that this would be best for India. What's your reasoning behind that ?
I don't have an expertise in this domain and it's more a hope based on past history.
So, no more comments here from me.
Do you have something better ? if no, we will leave it at this.
Not in particular, just want to be making sure we're all thinking critically rather than merely parroting middle school history
There are some sick people in this world.
I don't usually advocate for violence as a means of justice, especially with how overboard some people can go, but holy shit this guy needs to go to sleep and not wake up.
She was obviously asking for it dressed in those handcuffs. /s
She must be one irresistibly sexy child /S
How does a rape victim get raped again in the police station? And a child at that? This is too horrible. Fuck this. I had enough internet for today.
Uttar Pradesh. That's how.
By living in India.
WTF. Poor girl.
Gutter Pradesh is fucking wild. Regressive as fuck place. No amount of money would make me go there.
Crazy barbaric animals
Uttar pradesh and lemmygrad have one thing in common. How easy it is to recognize them reliably.
