I love this country

Of course, in a third-world country they all would have been taken out and shot.

Feminist action in Bangalore

The Blank Noise Project is a non-violent action group in Bangalore and other Indian cities combatting the prominent crime of sexual harrassment -- or "Eve teasing" as it is sometimes called there. The harrassment comes in many forms, but staring and groping on the street is the subject of many common complaints.

I've mentioned this group before, but I think it's worth another shout-out, because of the very striking photographs accompanying their posting about their latest action.
