I am at a workshop where we are discussion sexual violence on Indian campuses. At the end of a long day, we watched the documentary "The Hunting Ground," which shows how common sexual violence is on American campuses and how tortuous and almost impossible the quest for justice.
Some days, the work of changing the world seems too hard to contemplate. Where do you begin? With laws? With institutions? With attitudes? And yet, how do you not keep at it?
And what you do in one place comes undone in another, in an endless replay of Insy Winsy Spider. In this sector, most of us are tired and overstretched, unable to quit and struggling to go on.
This tired blogpost merely marks my attendance here on the third day of the year, to keep a promise to myself.
