Background
According to government data from 2018, at least one woman reports a rape every 15 minutes on an average in India. Almost 34,000 rapes were reported in 2018, barely changed from the year before. Of which over 85% led to charges and 27% to convictions, says National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) in the annual crime report released by the Ministry of Home Affairs.[2]
History
The mission was started by a Haryana-born food quality officer along with his two friends. The trio started an Instagram page called "Youth against rape" which quickly gained 50,000 followers.[3] As of 2021, it has 332,000 followers.[4]
They set up a non-governmental organization called the Youth Against Injustice Foundation which works on eliminating injustices such as rape, fake rape allegations and sexual abuse from India.[5][6] In October 2019, the three started a bicycle tour from Jantar Mantar, New Delhi to promote their mission.[7][8] By December 2019, the three had visited over 160 schools in Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Chattisgarh and Gujarat[9][10][11][12] and aim to travel over 50,000 kilometres in over two years.[13][14][15][16] In March 2021, the foundation tweeted some YouTube videos of molesting girls and promoting sexual abuse in the name of prank along with some screenshots of distasteful thumbnails that are viewed by millions on YouTube and demanded strict action. Reacting to their complaint, the National Commission for Women (NCW) chairperson Rekha Sharma replied that she will take up the issue with YouTube.[17][18]
