The hatred and violence toward women in India is devastating. On my yearly visits to South India, I hear stories of local women abused by their husbands without any ability to leave. This is life for many there and the sexual violence toward women is another layer of this violence entrenched in a culture often ironically devoted to the many forms of Divine mother.
A former co-worker was raised in India by her wonderful educated free thinking mother. When I first met her, she told me how she was taught to fear the train system , carry a weapon and never travel without a male escort. And that was 30 years ago.
