From the brave foot-soldiers who work on the ground to the ones who support them vocally, from the tribal lands inside the forest to the urban metros, from leaders to followers, from asking important questions to fighting it in courts and beyond, brave women have time and again taken ownership to march against wrongdoings and resist the culture of hate.
This international women’s day, CJP takes a moment to look at all the women who fearlessly challenge the system of rampant misogyny, racism, religious fundamentalism, oppression, unconstitutionality and violence.
