Richa: stories of sexual harassment will tumble out of every space
08 October, 2018
After Bollywood actor, Tanushree Dutta spoke about sexual harassment at the workplace, other women have also come forward with the stories of harassment experienced by them. But there are some people who have raised questions on Tanushree bringing up the issue after a gap of ten years and have accused her of seeking attention to enter the 'Bigg Boss' house.
Richa Chadha said that we need to evaluate where we went wrong as a society so women weren't comfortable enough to speak about harassment openly. "
We all have to look within ourselves and figure out how is it that we normalized the culture that women didn't feel safe to come forward and report any kind of verbal or physical assault. We all have to answer that. A person can be a nice guy but there might be a side to him which we do not know about. All of us are complicit in this space."
She continued, "We all need to go back to the drawing board and check where did we go wrong and correct it from there on otherwise it is not going to change. I can give you some false advice on how this will be beneficial but it's not going to change until there is a drastic reframing of our culture. We all need to be in this together.
If you see someone in your fraternity calling a victim and saying she wants attention or wants an entry in 'Bigg Boss,' you need to call them out too."
