Blessed Posted January 5, 2013 Women doing it for themselves. Fantastic! The targets of the Gulabi Gang's vigilantism are corrupt officials and violent husbands. The gang has stopped child marriages, forced police officers to register cases of domestic violence - by slapping them - and got roads built by dragging the official responsible from his desk on to the dust track in question.

Waranle_Warrior Posted January 19, 2013 I think this is a good way of tacking female subjugation, an idea that is from the very same community that suffer abuses, commendable and excellent. Not the western style imposition of women empowerment or feminism. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOIC Posted January 19, 2013 Blessed, Out of topic.Rageeh left Aljazeera and Joined some station in the Uk, right? Witness program was one of his best programs..Wonder if he will ever go to Somalia and do one good and fair investigative program on the whole Somali mess..Wishful thinking I guess Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted January 19, 2013 ^Witness is an interesting program but it must have been boring for a front line Journalist like Raaghe to simply present documentaries.. I don't think he reported on Somalia whilst with the BBC. Mohammed Adow of Al Jazeera and Jamal do a good of it though. Waranle, It would be better if there was state intervention and male support for so called 'women issues' but I agree grass roots movements are far more effective than some far away rhetoric form western feminist groups, even if they have the right intentions.
