Baatein Aman Ki: Here's Why Over 100 Women are Traveling Across India to Spread the Message of Peace -Simantini Dey

-News18.com

All the women yatris who are currently traveling through different parts of India and spreading the message of peace will reach Delhi by 13 October, where a day-long event will be held to celebrate peace and harmony.

Last month, five minibusses, with twenty-five women in each of them, started their journeys from five different states of India – Kashmir, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Assam, and Uttar Pradesh.

These 5 different groups of women yatris (travelers) are now traveling through a labyrinth of towns, cities, and villages -- holding over 500 programs in almost 200 places, in collaboration with local women’s and citizen groups – to start a conversation about peace. They are all part of a women-led campaign for peace called Baatein Aman Ki which is increasingly gaining momentum in India.

Baatein Aman Ki, spearheaded by Shabnam Hashmi of Anhad, Annie Raja of National Federation of Indian Women (NFIW) and Leena Dabiru of India Inclusive is not only an effort to start peace conversations but also to safeguard the constitutional values.

Talking about the campaign, Shabnam Hashmi, who is also one of the national coordinator of Bateein Aman Ki said, "About three months ago, perturbed by the kind of violence one was witnessing all around, perturbed by the hatred -- the lynching, attack on Dalits, or gang rapes -- combined with the judges coming out and appealing to the people of India to safeguard democracy ... We were just thinking of how to respond to it all."
