The recent boys locker room controversy has given rise to a lot of girls gathering courage and coming out with their own stories of dark & disgraceful incidents, leading further to the debate regarding how social justice functions take an entirely fresh perspective.

Many of such stories that I have personally been able to read belong to the highly acknowledged Model UN circuit in our country, of which I had been a part too in the past.
There have been some highly influential and well-known people against whom such allegations have been put, and it shocks my conscience that I knew some of them really well.
We are so surrounded by fakeness and pretentiousness all around us that we don’t see what’s actually happening, like literally right next to us.
Knowingly or unknowingly, we all have been direct or indirect enablers of such a rape and a disrespectful culture against women, that no matter what we say or what we do, the wounds aint healing anytime soon.
I don’t know if social embarrassment/justice/public shaming is enough for the perpetrators, but what I do know is that each one of us has a responsibility and a part to play, in our respective capacities of course.
Such acts need to be called out before they are able to create a deeper societal impact, especially on the younger generations. Because if that doesn’t happen, social justice will take a path from which there’s no coming back for god knows how many years.
