Fortunately, I had the opportunity to attend house fellow Seema Singh’s talk on gender and mobility. In full disclosure, I entered this discussion with apprehensions. This was because I thought I knew most of the issues regarding the disadvantage women are at when compared to their mail counterparts. In short, I could not have been more wrong. I learned so much throughout this talk. The one aspect of the talk I enjoyed the most is when we had an open discussion about possible solutions to the issue of sexual assault on public transportation. We learned how some women in India have vehicles and other means of transportation meant exclusively for women. This was a part of the social movement to educate all and end sexual assault. However, one person in the discussion feared/inquired that if a women is not on one of these all women means of transportations and is assaulted then wouldn’t people essentially blame the victim for knowingly not riding an all women option when it was available to her? I never thought about this argument, but I can see how some will use it in the legal field. The class seemed to agree that awareness and education is the best long-term solution. I am happy I attended this rose cafe. I only knew about the divide between men and women in regards to the United States. Prior to this talk, I never thought about the divide and how worse it may be in lesser developed countries such as India. This discussion was a mind opener and provided me with much to reflect on.
