#MeToo: This Mahalaya, Let Women be Empowered to Slay the Evils of Misogyny

News 18  

In the wee hours of Monday, before sunrise, Goddess Durga quietly began her descent from heaven to the mortal sphere, thus marking the advent of ‘Devi Paksha,’ - the hour of the goddess. While Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code popularised the idea of ‘sacred feminine’ only recently, Bengal has lived with the tradition of worshipping women as the embodiment of power for centuries. Exactly a year after the 'Me Too' movement highlighted the lingering yet widespread abuse in the Hollywood film industry, the Tinseltown of India has finally taken its baby step to break its complacency with Bollywood actresses steadily coming up with their horrific stories of sexual harassment. Irrespective of the fact that women have previously also called out oppressors and habitual sexual offenders to no remedy, the movement gained stronger grounds only recently after senior journalists, writers and actors were charged with allegations of sexual harassment by women in their respective fields. Since then, prominent names in the film industry like veteran actor Nana Patekar, filmmaker Vikas Behl and several senior as well as mid-level journalists were accused of sexual harassment by women, the charges corroborated by other victims.
