Making it jazzy for those who find it dreary news too depressing. Here are headlines from February alone of reports of violence against women at Maps4Aid website. Note that these are a small fraction of what's happening. To land up in the list:
- Out of all crimes that happened, a certain number got reported to the police
- Out of the number reported to police, news media picked some.
- Out of the ones picked by news media, someone or the other noticed and submitted it to the site.
- Out of all the submissions, these are the ones that have been put up.
And this list is only February. And no, February ain't over yet. We, as a country are in deep shit. Get it?
