Recently, the anger of actress-turned-activist Somi Ali has erupted over the egregious rape case in Sakinaka, Mumbai. Somi Ali said that in Mumbai or Miami there is no place in the world that is safe for women. After the Nirbhaya incident in Delhi, the Sakinaka incident has shocked everyone.
According to the news published in ET, Somi said that “No place in the world is safe for women. Not Mumbai, not Miami. Anywhere as long as there are hunters or people who know they can escape rape.” She said that “It is true that Mumbai is a modern city and there is a lot of freedom when it comes to clothing. But the fact that women are not safe has not changed.” The Sakinaka case is an example of this. We know that even the death penalty is not going to stop her. ”
After this she said: “What do you think Tabu or Alia Bhatt can wander the streets at night without security? These are the people who have 24 hour security. But an ordinary woman has no security that can be seen from evening”. I have to walk, rickshaw or bus from home to work and think about how safe they are. “
Speaking of the Sakinaka rape case, she said she feels the horror of this incident. “The reality is that we should get more angry. When we know we have a problem like this, why don’t we think about its solution? Always blaming the victim and justifying what happened. Women are safe anywhere. This is not just a South Asian problem, it is a universal problem. “
Somi Ali runs an organization called No More Tears that helps women victims of domestic violence.
