Freida Pinto to Expose India's Rape Culture - Page 3

This is really not a good idea, the prevention, the awareness on this horrific issue should be done directly in India, at the local level.

It will only target India as the first destination for rape (which is actually the 5th). All my non-indian friends (woman and man) just don't want to go to India anymore, they have such a bad idea of the country. It's not about covering the crap, but the western media are only talking about that or Modi wearing 14.000 suit. Come on India has more to provide. Freida should be responsible on the image she is giving of her own country because she is seen there as an ambassador.

Big actors in India should launch with an NGO a tour campaign on respecting women in India. Go to big cities, small towns, villages, talk to people; stop cautioning dirty item numbers or any kind of objectivization. Some TV spots should be done too with them.

Most importantly, the Indian government should finally wake up. They have the responsibility to reverse the tendency. At least, I hope all the bad vibes on India will make them realize the bad reputation the country is seriously getting abroad.
