We need factual information almost immediately, that's generally available to enable an interconnected change to be in time to avoid the high possibility of billions of deaths.

A Far Fethched Feminst Demand
By Sushmita Verma

http://www.countercurrents.org/verma060715.htm

Women do not live in their vaginas and hence feeding into the mass rhetoric of sexual violence being graver than other forms of violence that women endure, we, as feminists contradict our own arguments. While demanding law reforms we need to prioritise civil remedies like shelter homes, healthcare, counseling which provide an alternative strutcture to the women. Strong campaigns to salvage the DV Act from impending dilution would be a parallel step. Only then can we demand other amendements within the act itself. Moreover, the bigger question that we need to answer would be, whether the normalization of domestic violence is okay with us while we raise a certain kind of violence to the pedestal ?
