The ever-lasting effects of street harassment | Shilp Burman Roy | TEDxPathwaysSchoolGurgaon

Описание: Though the term “sexual harassment” has been expressed in innumerable manners such as eve-teasing and cat-calling, one cannot remain oblivious to the harrowing psychological wounds inflicted on several women around the world. As the speaker entered adolescence, she too encountered these execrable situations. Through her speech at TEDxPathwaysSchoolGurgaon, the speaker intends to discuss the adverse effects of this topic and offer her personal viewpoints. Shilp Burman Roy is a sixteen-year-old student and proponent of women’s rights. Being a national-level shooter, passionate artist and eloquent writer, her talents clearly extend to various fields. In the future, Shilp aims to pursue International Affairs and Economics, and she hopes to advocate humanitarian aid and spread awareness on political issues.

Having moved to India recently - a drastic change from the placidity of her hometown - the societal changes she encountered provoked a shift in her overall perception towards the complexity of human nature. The vibrant and accepting energy that India radiates has inspired her to endorse her unorthodox perspectives on topics entailing everything from the perplexity of Brexit to the futility of the United Nations, frequently.

Above all, Shilp continues to embrace her unfiltered beliefs towards women’s right to public participation and independence, in our multifaceted society. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
