On the 7th of March Blank Noise Project is organising Blog-a-thorn 2006 to get people to blog about sexual and street harassement. Road rage, grabbing, mauling and pinching are things most women have faced at one point or the other in their lives and those in the work force could attest to sexual harassement.

The bloggers at Desicritics.org seem to be quite excited about this activity.

On my end I will post about the courage of one girl who stood up against a couple of goons when they tried to rape a Kenyan girl in a bus full of people in Delhi.

Bravery means standing up for a cause despite the severe repercussion that would surely entail.

On Tuesday I will honor a friend, a hero who stood up for a stranger knowing that the wolves could just as well have turned on her.
