Being 17.

My first awareness of sexual violence and harassment came during the first year of my undergraduate studies in Delhi University. Our college had organised a seminar, in which Annie Zaidi was a speaker for a session. She discussed the words of abuse with which women are referred to on streets, in the course of what in those years was called eve-teasing. I was 17 years old at that time, and had lived a sheltered life in a very comfortable bubble. Talk seminar made me interrogate my privilege and position in society, and acted as my first initiation into feminist activism.
