India's Pink Posse
This is awesome!!
"If you're a man in the Banda district of India who beats your wife, demands more dowry, or otherwise mistreats women, you'd better watch out. A posse of vigilante women clad in pink saris may soon come after you, and it's going to be ugly.
"The "Gulabi Gang" (Pink Gang) uses sticks (lathis) and cricket bats to "teach erring men a lesson." In one instance, they chased a woman's abusive, alcoholic husband into a sugarcane field and sorely thrashed him. They also go after corrupt government officials. Last year, they stormed a police station after cops refused to register the case of a low-caste man simply because of his social standing."

Re: India's Pink Posse
Wow, my family is originally from this part of India.
Traditionally, Indian women are recommended to keep quiet when their husband is abusing them (to preserve family honor, reputation, avoid getting divorced because it's still frowned upon, etc). It's good to see people standing up for themselves and realizing that allowing abuse to happen and ignoring it isn't healthy.
