‘Majority of women suffer online
abuse says UN Report’; reads the early morning coffee news item. This is enough
to make me want to go back to the safety of my sleep. But it is time again to
unravel these mysterious statements by the UN.
The report goes on to talk about ‘cyber
violence’ and further says that ‘India is one of the countries where reporting
about cyber bullying is low’. Again and again we hear of these ‘unreported’
cases somehow being ‘reported’ perhaps telepathically from victim to UN report
makers. Or does the UN also employ tarot cards and astrologers’ parrots to pick
a number. More on that in a moment.
Let’s
take a break to refill the coffee mug. Things are about to get more
interesting.
How did they know the exact
figure of 46.7% had not reported victimization when it was not reported? Are
the UN reporters on some kind of medication that made them hallucinate?
How did the UN know it was just
35% of women who reported abuse when they did not know how many actually faced
the abuse? How does the UN know the actual number of women who are online? Is
the UN secretly stalking these women? Does the UN realize it is a crime?
How could 18.3% not even be aware
that they had been victimized? Is this the online analogy of telling someone
that they were sleep walking, or is it just a covert message being sent to
women to get in touch with their ‘feelings’ about being abused?
Where is the report on how many
men face online abuse?
Where is the report on how many
men have ‘not reported’ their online abuse?
Where the report on how many men are
not even aware that they have been victimized by these UN reports?
The report goes on (..and on and
on) to says that women in the age range of 18 to 24 are ‘uniquely likely’ to
experience stalking and sexual harassment in addition to physical threats.
The above statement can only be made by an unemployed astrologer desperate for
some attention or it could be made by a very respectable body called the UN which
has stopped being effective in curtailing real human issues and is now waging
war against Men & Boys.
Seems like the UN is no longer a place where
real humanitarian work takes place, nor does it stand for equality or justice
anymore. This is evident from the end statement of the news report which
reiterates the UN mandate as Sensitization, Safeguards and Sanctions-
Sensitization of ‘feelings’ so that it can create Safeguards against imaginary threats and impose
Sanctions against about half of the human population.
