Memorandum to Haryana CM

The Chief Minister

Haryana State

Chandigarh                                                                        17th October, 2012

Dear Shri Hooda,

On behalf of the undersigned organizations and concerned individuals, we would like to express our anguish and anger at the spate of horrific incidents of violence against women and young girls that have occurred in your State.  Within a period of one month, there have been 19 incidents of brutal rape, with many of the victims being dalits, and all of them belonging to the poorest and weakest sections. The response of the Government and the police has been tardy and ineffective. Adding to this, the extremely objectionable statements being made by khap panchayat leaders demanding that age of marriage should be lowered has led to criminals getting further emboldened. Other statements which seem to suggest that the victims themselves are also responsible have added insult to injury.

Some other issues also need your immediate attention. The rampant increase in sex selective abortions in your state, is leading to a pronounced gender imbalance which has to be addressed by your Government on an emergency basis. The manner in which the state police deals with crimes against women and  women complainants/victims  should also be addressed and changed. We also express our severe condemnation of the way in which certain organisations have been running so-called Protection Homes as places of intimidation and sexual exploitation of their inmates.

 

We would like to place the following demands before you:

1. All complaints of rape and sexual harassment must be treated with the utmost seriousness and investigated without any delay. Any police or other officials who do not do this and those who actually obstruct the delivery of justice must be given stringent punishment.

2. A standard operating procedure should be immediately circulated to all police stations in cases of rape and sexual assault.  As stated in the law, women police officers should take statements from the rape victims in the presence of a family member/s of the victim/complainant and all the evidence must be immediately gathered.

3. The victim should be taken for immediate medical checkup and attention and counselling and other forms of assistance must be provided on an emergency basis. The trauma of the rape can only be dealt with in this manner.

4. The victims must be rehabilitated in every way possible. Compensation should also be made available to them and, wherever feasible the victims should be given Govt. jobs.

5. Fast track courts must be instituted to try the cases so that justice is not delayed and the victims, their families and witnesses do not face harassment and suffer further trauma.

6.  Self-styled bodies with no constitutional sanction whatsoever, like khap panchayats must not be given any kind of Governmental sanction or recognition.  We are shocked to hear that the Dept. of Women’s Welfare is trying to organise a campaign against sex-selective abortions with the help of khap panchayats.  On the one hand, the State Govt. is not doing what it should to implement the PCPnDT Act and, on the other, it is giving legitimacy to socially regressive organisations like khap panchayats.  We demand that the law be implemented with all seriousness, that Monitoring Committees at all levels be formed and their regular and effective functioning ensured and that stringent punishment be meted out to all those violating the Act.

7.  Recently, a Khap Mahapanchayat leader has demanded that the age of consent for marriage be reduced   to 16 ostensibly to prevent the atrocities being committed against minor girls.  It is very shocking that no member of your Govt. has condemned this demand and made your Govt.’s stand clear. We demand an immediate response to this.

8. The police cases filed against Ms Brinda Karat, Ms Jagmati Sangwan and other activists who participated in the Rohtak rally on Oct 15th must be immediately withdrawn.

We, the undersigned, demand an immediate response to this alarming and totally intolerable situation. The safety and security of women and girls must be a top priority for the Govt of Haryana.

Urgent From AIDWA

Dear friends,

You are aware that a large mass rally of women was jointly conducted by various women’s organizations (AIDMAM, AIDWA, AIWC, ANHAD, CBCI, CGHJ, CPA, CSR, CWDS, JWP, MWF, NFIW, PUCL, RDMA, SAMA, YWCA, Action India, Jagori, Pehchaan, Prabhat Tara, Samata (BGVS), Sangat, Saheli) on the 15th of October at Rohtak to express solidarity with and demand justice for the victims of several incidents of rape that have taken place in Haryana in the last month. The gathering included  leaders such as Brinda Karat (ex Rajya Sabha MP), Jyotsna Chatterjee (JWP), Kavita Srivastav (PUCL), Shabnam Hashmi (ANHAD), Suneeta Dhar (Jagori), Gargi Chakravarti (NFIW), Leila Passah, (YWCA), Sudha Sundararaman and Jagmati Sangwan (AIDWA), Ranjana Kumari, (CSR), etc. , along with family members of the victims.

Instead of facilitating a process whereby the Haryana administration comes forward to listen to the plight of the victims, provide them relief and ensure that the perpetrators are severely punished, the rally was attacked by lathi-wielding policemen resulting in severe injuries to the protesting women, including the hospitalization of 15 women in Rohtak alone.

We request you to strongly condemn this repression and send Telegrams/Faxes to the Chief Minister of Haryana Shri Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who is also in charge of the Home portfolio in the state, with a copy to the Home Minister, Government of India,

Shri Sushil Kumar Shinde. The details are given below.

Thanking you

Yours in solidarity,

(Sudha Sundararaman) on behalf of the Joint platform

5th Global Conference: Evil, Women and the Feminine Saturday 18th May – Monday 20th May 2013 Prague, Czech Republic

Call for Presentation

“A wanton woman is the figure of imperfection; in nature an ape, in quality a wagtail, in countenance a witch, and in condition a kind of devil”     Nicholas Breton, 1615

Despite the attempts of feminists the conjunction between evil and the feminine seems unbroken. Established as secondary, derivative and hence inferior, women have been long suspected of being the source of human (though more often masculine) miseries, always in cahoots with the forces of evil and destruction. Paradoxically, at the same time, some have also been put on the pedestal and lauded as ideals of purity and dedication, yet these paragons only proved the rule that, on average, the feminine/woman equals imperfect and transgressive. Mischievous, beguiling, seductive, lascivious, unruly, carping, vengeful and manipulative – these are only a few of the epithets present in cultures and literatures across the world. In grappling with our understanding of what it is to be and do ‘evil’, the project aims to explore the possible sources of the fear and hatred of women and the feminine as well as their manifestations and pervasiveness across times, cultures and media.

This interdisciplinary project invites scholars, artists, writers, theologians, sociologists, psychologists, historians, etc. to present papers, reports, work-in-progress, art pieces and workshops on issues related but definitely not limited to the following themes:

•  Evil Women and Feminine Evil: Vices and Sins of Women
•  Representing and Misrepresenting the Female; Evil Women ‘Talking Back’
•  Motherhood; Monstrous Motherhood; Infertility and its Meaning across Cultures
•  Monstrous Births and Infanticide
•  Matriarchy / Matricide / Spouse Murder
•  Devious Sexuality and Feminine Perversions
•  Women and/as the Abject; Unnatural Women/Femininity
•  Menstruation, Castration
•  Fears and Myths: Feminine Blood, Witchcraft, Vamp(ires)s, Sirens, Harpies, Lamias, etc.
•  Anthropological and Historical Perspectives on Evil Feminine and Femaleness
•  The Evil Woman in Literature, Religion, Medicine, Law across Times and Cultures
•  Psychoanalytic Perspectives: ‘Vagina Dentata,’ ‘the Wandering Womb,’ ‘Poisonous Look’ etc.
•  Sexualizing the Female or Evil Objectification
•  Trans-Cultural Conceptualisations of Femme Fatale vs the Perfect Woman
•  Women and (Misuse of) Power
•  Evil Beauty; the Meaning of Hair and Make-up
•  Evil, Feminine in Fantasy, Fairy Tales, Horror, Thriller
•  Evil, Feminine in Mythologies and Religions across the world
•  Case Studies: Evil Women on the Agenda

The Steering Group particularly welcomes the submission of pre-formed panel proposals. Papers will also be considered on any related theme.
