'They said we'll throw acid on you if you go to protest’: Being a woman protestor | BBC News India

Описание: As protesters across India continue to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged voter roll irregularities, many women taking part say they have faced online abuse and cyberbullying. Some report that their phone numbers were made public, leading to calls from unknown numbers.

The BBC spoke to two women on the receiving end of this abuse to understand the added cost women bear when they take to the streets in India.
