I always believed on the adage that god created each one of us with some particular purpose. Raising my voice for the atrocities being committed on the fairer sex gave me a realization that this is the purpose of my life. But mere realization would have got me nowhere! It was Safecity that helped me to meet a wonderful team of people with similar interests and gave me a platform to look into this matter more deeply.

Over time, ‪#‎safecity‬ has made an exponential progress with an amazing media coverage and prestigious awards/mentions. Looking forward to rejoin this group pretty soon. ‪#‎soproud‬ 🙂

I remember the orientation we had at Niharika‘s place. Coming from a different background, i never ever felt alienated with you guys. Starting from Jyotsna being my first mentor to Akshita, Sheen ,RAhul, Abhishek, Ammar and Deeksha being my survey team members at various instants, i owe each one of you guys a heartfelt thanks for making my experience at Safecity a worthy one.

I also met Elsa during one of the meetings and was pretty reassured post it as #safecity is in good hands. 🙂

Apart from the wonderful bonding, i got to meet an amazing number of people in the quest of attaining sexual harassment reports. To my surprise even the most educated girls, i met, refused to accept that ogling/ derogatory commenting is something worth reporting as a case of sexual harassment. It somewhere made me realize that the more you tolerate, the more they will suppress you!

A‪#‎realitycheck‬ with the help of #safecity was all i needed to give a proper shape to my thoughts and ideas for initiating some change. Thank you for giving me such a memorable experience. 🙂
