rupikaur_ ♥️🙏🏽 so many of you have asked what you can do to support the #farmersprotest : slide through for info or read below 👇🏽
1) post on social media to raise awareness. i know this seems small. but it creates a ripple effect that will save lives. i’ve been advised by many human rights organizations that raising awareness on social media is the most effective tactic when dealing with the indian government. they are highly sensitive to international attention- so let’s give it to them.
2) put pressure on your local politicians and those with influence. put pressure on the media. ask them to speak up and bring attention to india’s human rights abuses. when freedom of press is attacked- democracy dies. every statement from officials around the world puts pressure on the indian government to take accountability for their human rights abuses.
3) if you’re interested in donating- @khalsa_aid is a great international humanitarian organization who is helping providing resources to farmers on the ground.
thank you for your endless support family- i love you all ♥️ your thoughtfulness and desire to change the world is forever inspiring
our people started protesting in punjab as early as july 2020. they marched to delhi on nov 27 and have been sleeping on the streets since. punjab- haryana- up- rajasthan. and beyond. the people are united across religion and geography. singing songs of freedom. our people feeding the masses. our people dying. activists abducted. journalists kidnapped. the government is currently building walls of cement and spikes around protest sites to cage people in. they try to defame our heroes. they sexually assault women in police custody. but truth will prevail. all of you. all of us. the diaspora marched and continues to give its heart out. onward. louder. stronger my friends. it’s working ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽#farmersprotest p.s. i can hear modi crying while throwing a temper tantrum 😆 music to my ears !!! (graphics by my sis @taranamol )
also can we collectively quit calling idols daddy (like on their lives or stuff, do whatever you want in private) like you don’t see me strolling into kihyun’s live calling him a bottom bitch wtf
I can’t even let myself grieve or relax because I don’t even have enough money to be diagnosed properly OR treated.

I don’t want to die because I can’t afford to get treatment. I’ve come this far.. I’m desperate. I need my community now more than ever. Please don’t let me be forgotten
Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister
Sometimes good posts are made by annoying people so I’ll help out
These are Safe Shorts. They were made by Sandra Seilz after someone attempted to rape her. If the fabric is torn, an alarm will be sounded.
This is the Rape-aXe, invented by a South African doctor by the name of Sonnet Ehlers. After interviewing a rape victim who wished she had teeth down there, she made this. If someone’s penis is inserted and pulled back out, the teeth will sink in, and can only be removed by a doctor.
The Killer Tampon (couldn’t find a site for it), made by retired anaesthetist Jaap Haumann. When penetration takes place, the sharp end will slice the offending appendage.
The Anti-Rape Belt (also couldn’t find a site), made by a group of Swedish teenagers led by Nadja Björk. It requires two hands to undo.
Anti-Rape Underwear/Bra (once again), as made by a group of Indian students. Will deliver an electric shock when met with unwanted advances, as well as sounding an alarm.
Undercover Colours. Made by 4 male undergraduates at North Carolina U, they change colours when in contact with chemicals or drugs that cause unconsciousness. Used in case you’re wary that your drink has been roofied.
These are just tools to help, but in addition to being mindful of your situations and staying safe, they can help when the worst happens.
On 19th October, Lee Seok Cheol, The East Light’s leader opened up about the physical and verbal abuse from Media Line’s producer Yoon Youngil and their CEO, Kim Chang Hwan starting from before their debut until last year (2015 - 2017).
They were severely abused with a baseball bat, metal microphone, slapped in their face. Yoon Youngil reportedly wrapped a guitar string around a member’s neck and yanked it everytime he would make a mistake during his performance. Whenever the member tried to speak up about it, he would threaten them blatantly, “I’m going to kill you.” Due to this, they sustained injuries and trauma, both physical and psychological.
The CEO Kim Chang Hwan simply allowed such vile actions to go on, merely telling Yoon Youngil “Don’t be too harsh.” The CEO cursed and threatened the members as well. The trauma and abuse are so extreme that Lee Seung Hyun is currently receiving treatment for physical and psychological pain.
Today is NOT the day we let criminals like Kim Chang Hwan & Yoon Youngil roam around freely. THIS HAS TO BE TO STOPPED. Can you imagine the aspirations, the hope & the trust all 6 of them, Lee Seok Cheol, Lee Eun Sung, Lee Seung Hyun, Jeong Sa Gang, Kim Jun Wook & Lee Woo Jin had in the company? The trust their families had in the company, to aid these young men to reach their goals & fulfill their dreams. And what happened to that trust, that love? These vile people used it against them.
It does not matter who you stan or don’t stan. We are gonna end violence by spreading the word, showing our support. REMEMBER AS MUCH AS WE WANNA BLAST AT THE ABUSERS
ALL 6 of them should be our priority. Let’s send them positive messages, show them that, WE ARE HERE FOR THEM, DESPITE THE STORM WE ARE HERE TO STAY BESIDE THEM, WE ARE HERE TO HELP THEM THROUGH THIS. Let’s show them the love and support. Let’s stand with them, for them & beside them.
PLEASE SUPPORT THE EAST LIGHT. PLEASE SUPPORT. LEE SEOK CHEOL. LEE EUN SUNG. LEE SEUNG HYUN. JEONG SA GANG. KIM JUN WOOK. LEE WOO JIN.
Here are their Instagram accounts, let’s show them & send them love, support & compassion.
