End Manual Scavenging in India

She used to clean human excreta from houses with her bare hands. 40 year old Choti Bai from Rajasthan was forced to do this when she was a child. There are thousands of women like her who still perform this illegal practice because of their gender and their caste. She has started a campaign through the organisation which rescued her, telling PM Manmohan Singh to eradicate Manual Scavenging in India. Join Choti Bai.

Abolish the ‘Two Finger’ Test

Kavita Krishnan started a petition asking for the abolition of the “two finger” test. Kavita feels this practice of inserting two fingers in the vagina of a rape survivor to check if she is ‘habituated to sex’ is nothing but medical re-rape that should not have any impact on the outcome of a rape case. Sign her petition to Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde.
