The phenomenon of men in positions of power taking advantage of their position to make unwanted moves which shrink the space and hurt the dignity of women colleagues and workers is, however, far more widespread.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tales of sexual harassment and discomfort are a dime a dozen in the villages of India.

It is sincerely hoped that the deterrence value of the movement is strong enough to discourage future perpetrators from condemnable acts on their women colleagues in workplaces. It is a hugely desirable phenomenon that should result in cleansing urban workplaces of this scourge of sexual harassment.<br><br>However, as desirable as the movement is, the current outrage largely remains confined to journalism, media, film industry, a bit of academia and a few other urban professions.

The group provides her safety from wild animals, and more importantly, men. Going alone in the forest is a surefire recipe for inviting unwanted attention from men, she says.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kanti Devi of Maharashtra has to walk a few miles every day to fetch water for her household. She avoids going to her neighbour?s place to ask for water, because the man?s gaze in that household makes her feel unsafe. ?How would it look if a woman goes to the next house asking for water, when the head of the household has a different way of looking at women and has bad intentions?? she says. ?Dignity is far more important than walking miles.?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In recent times the #MeToo movement has reached its high noon in India, with the exit of a high-profile former journalist from the Union Cabinet. It is sincerely hoped that the deterrence value of the movement is strong enough to discourage future perpetrators from condemnable acts on their women colleagues in workplaces. It is a hugely desirable phenomenon that should result in cleansing urban workplaces of this scourge of sexual harassment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;However, as desirable as the movement is, the current outrage largely remains confined to journalism, media, film industry, a bit of academia and a few other urban professions. The phenomenon of men in positions of power taking advantage of their position to make unwanted moves which shrink the space and hurt the dignity of women colleagues and workers is, however, far more widespread.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tales of sexual harassment and discomfort are a dime a dozen in the villages of India. Rural women, particularly those from the Scheduled Castes, Other Backward Classes, and tribal communities are easily among the hardest working people in this country. Their workplaces are out in the open, and their work sectors are unorganised. The levels of patriarchal insensitivity and other forms of discrimination which they face are perhaps far more ubiquitous and abhorrent than those reported in the current #Metoo movement.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please &lt;a mce_href=&quot;https://www.thecitizen.in/index.php/en/NewsDetail/index/7/15359/MeToo--Disenfranchised-Defenceless-Rural-Women-Suffer-Sexual-Harassment-in-Silence?fbclid=IwAR1SMjBOb3W1xYNdpYSAfKD4opikwrHEzEaT-84kHrHox-xX4Yn6v2ZzVy4&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thecitizen.in/index.php/en/NewsDetail/index/7/15359/MeToo--Disenfranchised-Defenceless-Rural-Women-Suffer-Sexual-Harassment-in-Silence?fbclid=IwAR1SMjBOb3W1xYNdpYSAfKD4opikwrHEzEaT-84kHrHox-xX4Yn6v2ZzVy4&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;,

#MeToo: Disenfranchised, Defenceless Rural Women Suffer Sexual Harassment in Silence -Archana Chandola

-TheCitizen.in 81.3% of the female workforce in India out of the pale of the urban movement When Sumitra Devi, a resident of a remote village in Uttarakhand, has to collect fodder and firewood from the nearby forest, she is forced to travel in a group. The group provides her safety from wild animals, and more importantly, men. Going alone in the forest is a surefire recipe for inviting unwanted attention from men, she says. Kanti Devi of Maharashtra has to walk a few miles every day to fetch water for her household. She avoids going to her neighbour?s place to ask for water, because the man?s gaze in that household makes her feel unsafe. ?How would it look if a woman goes to the next house asking for water, when the head of the household has a different way of looking at women and has bad intentions?? she says. ?Dignity is far more important than walking miles.? In recent times the #MeToo movement has reached its high noon in India, with the exit of a high-profile former journalist from the Union Cabinet. It is sincerely hoped that the deterrence value of the movement is strong enough to discourage future perpetrators from condemnable acts on their women colleagues in workplaces. It is a hugely desirable phenomenon that should result in cleansing urban workplaces of this scourge of sexual harassment. However, as desirable as the movement is, the current outrage largely remains confined to journalism, media, film industry, a bit of academia and a few other urban professions. The phenomenon of men in positions of power taking advantage of their position to make unwanted moves which shrink the space and hurt the dignity of women colleagues and workers is, however, far more widespread. Tales of sexual harassment and discomfort are a dime a dozen in the villages of India. Rural women, particularly those from the Scheduled Castes, Other Backward Classes, and tribal communities are easily among the hardest working people in this country.
