Bring about the change we want to see”
In this paper we offer a critical analysis of the media discourse around an anti-sexual violence comic book, Priya’s Shakti (2013), which tells the story of a victim of gang rape who becomes an unlikely “superhero” in a crusade to end sexual violence. The comic was created by an Indian American filmmaker, Ram Devineni, in response to the horrific gang rape and murder of a young woman in New Delhi in 2012 (the Nirbhaya case). Positioning a rape vi…
Bruised, battered, bleeding
In September 2013, images of bruised, bleeding and battered Hindu goddesses went viral on social media networks. Saraswati (the goddess of knowledge), Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth) and Durga (the goddess of strength and power) appear as victims of domestic abuse in the Abused Goddesses advertising campaign against domestic violence. In this article, I analyse the Abused Goddesses campaign and the conversations it generated. I argue that it reit…

In this article, I reflect on the increasing visibility of sexual violence on university campuses by using two cases of recent survivor-centric activism. I see the increasing attention to this issue as a consequence of two different, yet intertwined, acts of student activist labor: the confrontational labor of call out culture, especially as it manifests on social media platforms, and the caring labor of creating communities of support amongst su…
Girls and Young Women Resisting Rape Culture through YouTube Videos
Sexual violence continues to be normalized in modern society through heterosexist jokes and problematic portrayals of female sexuality. A number of young female activists use YouTube as a technology of nonviolence to share their thoughts about rape culture and how it can be transformed. We performed a thematic analysis of 10 videos produced by young women and girls to investigate what they identify as rape culture and how they use videos to commu…
