The Men in Skirts:

A group of 25 men turned up dressed in skirts, at the cubbon park in bangalore city. Their goal: to educate the world that a particular dress does not lead to sexual harassment or rape of a woman and to champion women's right to "wear" what mattered to her.

Jay, a business analyst, said "I felt free, light and good to walk in a woman's shoes. Women dress in minimum clothes to confidently express themselves. I realise now it's a matter of comfort. Men should support this freedom of expression and stop demeaning them. We have stimulated a change in mindsets and our purpose has been served in that aspect."

Collecting a crowd of 100 at the Park's point, they pledged: "I promise that I will be sensitive to gender issues in the way I speak and act. I promise not to be passive. I will step in if I hear offensive speech or views. If I see something wrong happen in front of me, I will create a discussion and talk about my beliefs."
