We aren't just humans anymore, we're living among savage animals slowly transforming into beasts of mercilessness. This video is just an example for that, how can anyone rape a four year old! Bah! :'(

And I thought that the conspiracy of silence about autism was bad. This is even worse.

@vjkrishn82 I don't see how this is "feminist" activism. It's children's rights, human rights activism, and some of the victims are male.

I was the first to share this video on my profile..we need such people!..the right expression of feminist activism.

The least thing you can do is to share this on your profile with your friends!

This seriously needs to go out to the Indian public. This needs Hindi subtitles.

One of the most powerful speeches I've seen. I rarely commend someone for talking about the less fortunate because mostly it's about themselves, but this lady is incredible. She puts her life on the line for the people she protects. I hope I will contribute at least a small portion of what she has contributed to the well being of others before I die.

Remember Nhu,

This is a great organization

Similar goals. Great organization, I was able to hear them talk about this before. Very eye opening. I couldn't believe slavery still existed. Even in my country!
