Support Our Cause: Creating a World Where She Feels Safe

Have you ever witnessed the unsettling, ugly stares that women have to face on a day-to-day basis?

Have you noticed how some women feel compelled to choose their clothing based on what might make them feel safer?

How often do you see someone rushing through a crowded space or quickening their pace on dimly lit streets to avoid potential danger?

These are not isolated incidents—they are daily struggles for millions of women in India.

India ranks 128th out of 177 countries in the Women, Peace, and Security Index.

These issues stem from deeply ingrained flaws in the mentality of our society—attitudes imbibed from childhood, perpetuated by a lack of proper education about respect, equality, and the right of every woman to live without fear.

The safety of women in India is a pressing issue that demands persistent effort, effective law enforcement, and a profound cultural shift towards true respect and equality. While it may seem like legal reforms take time to show their full impact, we cannot afford to wait. We must act now within our communities to make a difference.

Current activism often fades as quickly as it flares up, driven by media trends and algorithms. This inconsistency means many critical cases remain underreported due to societal stigma and fear of retaliation. In fact, according to the National Crime Records Bureau, only 1 in 4 cases of violence against women in India is reported.

I’m launching a fundraiser with Breakthrough Trust to promote gender equality in India. This initiative aims to create a sustainable change in society’s mindset by educating children, school faculty, and guardians. Together, we can help build safe spaces where girls can not only survive but truly thrive.

Join us in this mission—because every woman deserves to live in a world where she’s not just safe, but respected and valued.
