My Sister Was Assaulted

My sister killed herself after being shamed for speaking out about sexual assault. Ask Smriti Irani to ensure schools provide counselling to students who speak out about assault. Sign my petition   Trigger warning: Content about Child Sexual Abuse.  Dear Ravinder, My cousin was called a liar and attention seeker for speaking out about sexual assault. She took her life by jumping off a building in Kolkata. She was only 17. Over 81,000 people have signed my petition asking HRD Minister Smriti Irani to ensure counselling is provided to students who speak out about sexual assault. Ravinder, I need 1 Lakh signatures by next week to showcase huge public support to Smriti Irani. Sign my petition. Ranjana Kumari, a prominent women’s rights activist, has promised to deliver this petition to HRD Minister Smriti Irani. Like my cousin, thousands of children are scared to speak out about sexual assault due to fear of being shamed and ostracised.  Let’s take the first step towards protecting them. Sign my petition.  Together we can make Smriti Irani ensure that counselling is provided to students who speak out about sexual assault. Thank you for taking action! Smita Sharma Sign my petition This email was sent by Change.org to dhot.ravi@gmail.com. You can edit your email preferences or unsubscribe from these emails.
