Hunderte Frauen in pinkfarbenen Saris, bewaffnet mit Stöcken. Die Gulabis gehen in Indien gegen häusliche Gewalt, Zwangsheirat und extreme Mitgiftforderungen vor. Und: Wenn reden nicht mehr hilft, schlagen sie auch mal zu. Sampat Pal Devi hat die – übersetzt – „rosafarbene Bande“ gegründet. Und die ist mittlerweile weltweit bekannt. Nicole Scherschun und Leila Knüppel haben Pal Devi besucht und sie bei ihrem Kampf für Frauenrechte begleitet. Eventuell verwendete Musik: Prem Joshua: Remember this, Album: Earth Kisses Sky Szene 1: Telefonat 01_01_Atmo_Telefonklingeln Erzählerin Wer etwas über Sampat erfahren möchte, der muss erst einmal Suresh anrufen. 01_02_Atom_Begruessung_Suresh_Telefon Erzählerin Er ist derjenige, der Journalistinnen, Kamerateams – die ganze internationale Presse – mit Sampat in Kontakt bringt, übersetzt. Er vermittelt zwischen London, Berlin, New York – und Atarra. Diesem kleinen Ort, mitten im Nichts, eine staubige Straße am Rande eines Flusses. In Uttar Pradesh, dem ärmsten Bundesland Indiens. 01_03_O-Ton_Szene_Sampat_Bollywood_Film Sprecherin 1, Overvoice Reporterin (engl.): Wie geht es Sampat? Hast du mit ihr gesprochen? Sprecher 1, Overvoice Suresh (engl.): Ja, ich habe mit ihr gesprochen. Es geht ihr wohl gut. Sie wird bei einem Bollywoodfilm mitmachen. (eventuell weiter unterlegen: 01_04_Atmo_Telefonat_ueber_Bollywood_Film) 2 3 Erzählerin Ein Bollywood-Film über die Gulabi-Gang: Sampat scheint zu einer Art Ikone geworden zu sein. Vorbild für den weltweiten Kampf der Frauen gegen Unterdrückung. Mit der Sampat, die wir kennengelernt haben, hat das wenig zu tun. Wir sind einer sehr bodenständigen Frau begegegnet: Sampat beim Feilschen um Sari-Stoff, beim Familienstreit-Schlichten, beim Betelnuss-Kauen. 01_05_Atmo_Nach Anuratha_fragen (kurz stehen lassen, dann weiter unterlegen) Erzählerin Von Suresh erfahren wir die Neuigkeiten, von Anuratha (sprich: Anurata), die einem Mann aus einer anderen Kaste heiratete. Von Rochni (sprich_ Rotschni), die von ihren Schwiegereltern und ihrem betrunkenen Ehemann geschlagen wurde. 01_06_O-Ton_Szene_Trinkt_er_noch Sprecherin 1, OV Reporterin (engl.): Und er trinkt nicht mehr? Sprecher 1, OV Suresh (engl.): Nein, hat Sampat gesagt. Er trinkt kein Alkohol mehr. Sprecherin 1, OV Reporterin (engl.): Und musste Sampat noch häufiger eingreifen? Sprecher 1, OV Suresh (engl.): Ein, zwei Mal hat sie bei ihnen vorbeigeschaut – und gefragt, ob alles in Ordnung ist. Und er hat ihr gesagt, er trinkt nicht mehr, geht seinen Weg. Erzählerin Es sind Geschichten aus einer Welt, in der Frauen nicht nur um Gleichberechtigung kämpfen müssen, sondern oftmals überhaupt erst einmal um ihre Würde als Mensch. Ein rigides Kastensystem, hohe Mitgiftforderungen, häusliche Gewalt prägen hier den Alltag. 02_11_Atmo_Hochzeitslied (Musik stehen lassen, dann unter Atmo legen) 3 4 Szene 2: Begrüßung (eventuell: 02_01_Atmo_Autofahrt) 02_02_Atmo_Aussteigen_aus_Auto_vor_Sampats_Haus Erzählerin Vor drei Jahren haben wir Sampat (gesprochen: Sampat) zu ersten Mal besucht. (Suresh (gesprochen: Suresch) stellt uns vor.) 02_03_Atmo_Sampat_begruesst_uns: „Namaste“ – „Leila“ – „Hello.“ – „Nicole“ Erzählerin Sie begrüßt uns in ihrem im pinkfarbenen Sari. Führt uns durch ihr Haus: unverputzte Wände, Estrichboden – ein wenig wie ein Rohbau, dafür groß und voller Menschen: (eventuell – 02_04_Atmo_Naehen; alternativ: 02_04b_Atmo_Chapatis_backen) Erzählerin Sampats Tochter näht, die Schwiegertochter backt Brot, Sampats Mann hat seinen jüngsten Enkel auf dem Schoß. 02_05_Atmo_Jungs_spielen_mit_Kronkorken Erzählerin Im Flur spielt eine Gruppe Jungs mit Kronkorken anstelle von Murmeln - Kinder von Verwandten, die Sampat mit aufzieht. 02_06_Atmo_Hinsetzen_im_Hof 4 5 Erzählerin Sampat führt uns in den Hof, zwischen Wäscheleinen voller Saris werden schnell ein paar Plastikstühle hingestellt, für unseren Übersetzer Suresh und für uns. Meine Kollegin Nicole Scherschun und ich - zwei Frauen in Funktionshosen, mit unseren typischen Westlerbiografien: viel Arbeit, unverheiratet, keine Kinder. 02_07_O-Ton_Szene_Heiraten_Kinder Sprecherin 2, Overvoice Sampat Devi (hindi/engl.): Bist du verheiratet? Sprecherin 1, OV Reporterin (engl.): Nein, bin ich nicht. Sprecherin 2, OV Sampat Devi (hindi/engl.): Und – denkst du übers Heiraten nach? Sprecherin 1, OV Reporterin (engl.): Nein. Sprecherin 2, OV Sampat Devi (hindi/engl.): Keine Kinder? Sprecherin 1, OV Reporterin (engl.): Kinder ja, aber keine Hochzeit. – Bisher hab ich noch keine Kinder, aber irgendwann möchte ich welche. Sprecherin 2, OV Sampat Devi (hindi/engl.): Aber wenn du Kinder bekommst, heiratest du. Sprecherin 1, OV Reporterin (engl.): Nein, das ist in Deutschland nicht unbedingt notwendig. Erzählerin Hier in Indien schrumpfen unsere Biografien ziemlich schnell zusammen: Kein Mann, keine Familie – das bedeutet für die meisten Frauen hier: gescheitert zu sein. 02_08_O-Ton_Szene_In_Indien_Beziehung_Unverheiratet 5 6 Sprecherin 1, OV Reporterin (engl.): Kann man in Indien als unverheiratetes Paar zusammenleben – und vielleicht Kinder haben? Sprecher 1, OV Suresh (engl.): In Indien machen das manche. Aber die Leute werden versuchen, das Paar zu töten. Sprecherin 2, OV Sampat Devi (Hindi): Es ist sehr schwer für das Mädchen. Die Gemeinschaft verachtet solche Beziehungen. Sprecher 1, OV Suresh (engl.): Es ist schwer für das Mädchen, wenn es verlassen wird. Aber mit der Zeit werden sich die Dinge auch hier ändern. 02_09_O-Ton_Szene_Sampats_Hochzeit Sprecherin 1, OV Reporterin (engl.): Wann hast du geheiratet, Sampat? – Und wie viele Kinder hast du? Sprecherin 2, OV Sampat Devi (Hindi): Mit 12. Als ich 15 war, habe ich mein erstes Kind bekommen. Jetzt habe ich vier Töchter – und einen Sohn. Als ich damals heiratete, wusste ich noch nicht, was die Zukunft bringt: Dass ich beschimpft und geschlagen werde, dass das vielen Frauen nach der Hochzeit passiert. Ich war zu jung. 02_10_Atmo_Naehen Erzählerin Zwei Wochen werden wir in Sampats Haus verbringen. An manchen Tagen warten wir nur darauf, dass etwas passiert – verdösen den Tag auf der Liege im kühlen Innenhof. Die alte Singer-Nähmaschine von Sampats Tochter im Ohr. An anderen Tagen wollen gleich etliche Frauen mit Sampat sprechen: Weil ihr Ehemann sie schlägt, weil die Polizei ihre Anzeige nicht aufnehmen will oder weil sie sich in den Jungen einer anderen Kaste verliebt haben und nicht mehr weiter wissen. 6 7 Typische Probleme hier in Uttar Pradesh (sprich: Uttar Pradesch), dem ärmsten Bundesstaat Indiens. Wer hier lebt, arbeitet meist auf dem Feld. Ein Drittel der Menschen können nicht lesen – unter Frauen sind sogar über die Hälfte Analphabeten. 02_11_Atmo_Hochzeitslied (Musik stehen lassen, dann unter O-Ton von Sampat legen) Alternative Musik: 02_11b_Musik_Remember_this Sprecherin 2, OV Sampat Devi (Hindi): 02_12_O-Ton_Sampat_Gulabi_Gang_entstanden In Indien werden Frauen in vielerlei Hinsicht unterdrückt. Es gibt zwar viele Initiativen, die dies ändern wollen, aber genützt hat es nicht viel. Deswegen wollten wir selbst für unsere Rechte kämpfen. So ist die Gulabi Gang entstanden und gewachsen. Frauen sollen unabhängiger werden, sie sollen sich bilden, sie sollen selbst über Abtreibungen entscheiden können. Die Mitgift muss abgeschafft werden. Und am wichtigsten: Die Frauen müssen sich endlich raus aus ihren Häusern trauen. Darum habe ich die Gulabi Gang gegründet. Frauen kommen und bitten mich um Hilfe, werden dann Mitglieder. Sie gehen nicht zu irgendwelchen Regierungsinitiativen oder NGOs. Sie kommen zu mir. 02_11_Atmo_Hochzeitslied (wieder hochblenden, kurz stehen lassen) Szene 3: Stockkampf 03_01_Atmo_Frauen_rufen_Gulabi_Slogans Erzählerin Am nächsten Tag sind wir bei einem der Treffen der Gulabis in Fatehpur (sprich: Fatepur) dabei – dem nächst größeren Nachbarort. 03_02_Atmo_Frauentreffen 7 8 Erzählerin Etwa 50 Frauen haben sich auf den Boden eines

  • Activism and Women's Rights in India
    India: Past, Present, and Future Activism and Women’s Rights in India By Vera Heuer eople around the world watched as thousands took to the streets in New Delhi in December 2012 following the gang rape of twenty-three-year-old physiotherapy student Jyoti PPandey. While similar protests were held in other metropolitan cities across the country, the protests in Delhi became so intense that the government imposed a curfew and sanctioned the use of force by its riot police. Domestic as well as international media coverage of these events helped fuel public outrage. The protesters made varied and lengthy demands for improving public safety for women, including calls to make public transportation safe; to encourage the police to be more responsive; to reform the judicial process, including reform to the Indian Evidence Act, the Penal Code, and the sentencing stan- dards; and to generally provide for greater dignity, autonomy, and rights for women. As a result of the public outcry, a three-member Protest against the Delhi gang rape. Source: Indiatoday.in website at http://tinyurl.com/b92ws5c, January 1, 2013. committee chaired by legal expert Chief Justice J. S. Verma was con- vened to recommend changes to the criminal law on sexual violence. Based on the committee’s recommendations, the government passed the Criminal Law Amendment Act (2013), which addresses a se- ries of concerns expressed by various women’s groups, but omits the criminalization of assault perpetrated by spouses or the armed forces. The intense media coverage of the 2012 protests did raise inter- national awareness of the significant safety concerns of many Indian women.

  • Ngo Activism in Transforming Sexual Assault Rhetoric 1
    NGO ACTIVISM IN TRANSFORMING SEXUAL ASSAULT RHETORIC 1 NGO Activism in Transforming the Rhetoric Surrounding Sexual Assault in India Author note The author has no known conflict of interest. NGO ACTIVISM IN TRANSFORMING SEXUAL ASSAULT RHETORIC 2 Abstract In a country dominated by patriarchal values where women have historically been considered secondary in status, the work done by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and activists to encourage people to reassess their understanding of women’s rights is crucial. While studies that prove the value of NGO campaigns that raise awareness on the issue of women’s rights in India is available, the role that NGOs play as counterpublics to disrupt the affective force of patriarchy has not been thoroughly investigated. This paper focuses on a few promising social movements piloted by local Indian NGOs and similar activist organizations and illustrates the various ways in which they portray qualities of counterpublics. It analyzes how these movements and campaigns use affective techniques to encourage the traditional Indian community to reexamine their attitude towards women. With regard to praxis, an investigation that studies the ways in which NGOs apply these techniques can help us link their achievements to the reasons behind their success, allowing other organizations to adopt similar strategies, thus disseminating this knowledge on a larger scale to accelerate social change. Keywords: activism, affect, counterpublics, patriarchy, second-class status, sexual assault. NGO ACTIVISM IN TRANSFORMING SEXUAL ASSAULT RHETORIC 3 NGO Activism in Transforming the Rhetoric Surrounding Sexual Assault in India Traditional Indian culture has historically assigned a secondary status to women in their society (Johnson and Johnson, 2001).

  • Topic [003]: Gender-Based Violence
    Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly XLVIII ECOSOC: Gender-Based Violence Topic [003]: Gender-Based Violence Introduction Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is an international pandemic that is deeply rooted in harmful gender roles and inequality1 . It is one of the most significant violations of human rights within all societies. The normalization of violence towards women, rigid gender concepts, and harmful cultural practices perpetuate GBV. The UN Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women stated, "violence against women is a manifestation of historically unequal power relations between men and women" and "violence against women is one of the crucial social mechanisms by which women are forced into a subordinate position compared with men." International Alert described Gender-Based Violence as a way ‘for men to not only reinforce the traditional patriarchal gender roles used to control women, but also to validate their own feelings of insecurity derived from culturally 1“W hat Is Gender-Based Violence?” European Institute for Gender Equality, February 27, 2019. https://eige.europa.eu/gender-based-violence/what-is-gender-based-violence. Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly XLVIII ECOSOC: Gender-Based Violence prescribed gender roles.2 ’ By threatening the safety, mobility, autonomy, and freedom of women, gender-based violence prevents women from fulfilling their potential as human beings and restricts their full participation in society. One in every three women globally have experienced either physical or sexual violence. This issue has devastating impacts on the victims and their families, and entails notable social and economic costs 3. Addressing this issue requires a community-based, multidimensional, sustainable approach.

  • The Moral Vigilante and Her Cousins in the Shadows
    ROBINSON.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 3/24/2015 2:04 PM THE MORAL VIGILANTE AND HER COUSINS IN THE SHADOWS Paul H. Robinson* By definition, vigilantes cannot be legally justified—if they satis- fied a justification defense, for example, they would not be law- breakers—but they may well be morally justified, if their aim is to provide the order and justice that the criminal justice system has failed to provide in a breach of the social contract. Yet, even moral vigilan- tism is detrimental to society and ought to be avoided, ideally not by prosecuting moral vigilantism but by avoiding the creation of situa- tions that would call for it. Unfortunately, the U.S. criminal justice system has adopted a wide range of criminal law rules and procedures that regularly and intentionally produce gross failures of justice. These doctrines of disillusionment may provoke vigilante acts, but not in numbers that make it a serious practical problem. More damaging is their tendency to provoke what might be called “shadow vigilantism,” in which civilians and officials feel morally justified in manipulating or subverting the criminal justice system to compel the system to deliver the justice that it appears reluctant to impose. Unfor- tunately, shadow vigilantism can be widespread and impossible to ef- fectively prosecute, leaving the system’s justness seriously distorted. This, in turn, can provoke a damaging antisystem response, as in the “Stop Snitching” movement, that further degrades the system’s repu- tation for doing justice, producing a downward spiral of lost credibil- ity and deference. We would all be better off—citizens and offenders alike—if this dirty war had never started.

  • Fights for Rights
    Uppsala University Department of Government Bachelor’s Thesis, 15hp Spring 2018 Fights for Rights A CASE STUDY OF TWO VIGILANTE WOMEN’S MOVEMENTS: THE SUFFRAGETTES AND THE GULABI GANG Author: Sara Jändel ​ Supervised by: Sandra Håkansson ​ ABSTRACT This thesis is a comparative case study of the Suffragette movement and the Gulabi Gang, two women’s movements using violence as a political strategy to fight patriarchal structures. Studying vigilante women’s movements is important as the current literature on the relationship between women and violence is deficient, focusing on women as victims of violence but neglecting the idea of women as contributors to violence. This study therefore aims to challenge the idea of female pacifism and to acknowledge women as rational, and sometimes violent, actors. This will be done by comparing the Suffragette movement and the Gulabi Gang, two most-different cases of vigilante women’s movements, with the purpose to find the motivations behind their strategic choice of violence. The study is of an explorative kind, aiming to contribute to the existing theories of vigilantism with why some women’s groups have felt compelled to step outside of traditional stereotypes and norms attributed to ​ ​ women to achieve their goals. The result shows that the existing theories explaining the motivations to vigilante actions coincide with the Suffragettes and the Gulabi Gang. They are however also proven to not adequately explain why some women’s movements use violence. This study therefore contributes, to the existing theories, with the conclusion that women’s movements use violence, generally seen as a masculine strategy, to shock and surprise the people and the decision-makers.
