16 Days Campaign: From Awareness to Accountability by Swapnil Saundarya and Painter Babu Rishabh
When it comes to protecting women, girls and children from sexual assault—the country has failed pretty miserably. Almost all abusers go unpunished, the majority of victims are too scared to speak up and come forward to raise a voice against all the atrocities.
Presenting
THE BOLD BRIGADE
COMING SOON !

Swapnil Saundarya and Painter Babu Rishabh recognises that violence against women, girls and children has many forms, however, for ‘16 Days of Activism 2019’, we will focus on ‘violence at homes’ with particular emphasis on intimate partner violence, all the forms of abuse be it physical, mental, sexual or verbal, rape culture, body shaming and bullying.
A multi-pronged digital campaign titled as 'Go Achromatic for a cause' on breaking the silence on violence at homes is spread over these 16 Days nationwide.

My body My Choice
Encouraging Health does not mean putting someone down for their weight.
Your Body is not wrong ..Society is .
Never Shame other body types to validate your own.
Beauty is not measured in lbs.
The scars of emotional abuse are invisible, and victims of abuse don’t often talk about it. In the context of this painting collection, however, people really opened up. It was a cathartic experience for a lot of us.
But, How much harm can a few words do ?
Words hurt just like sticks and stones.
We all know this, despite the adage. When we were planning this art collection, a women who was a victim of “just” verbal abuse commented that she wished she'd been hit so that “her wounds and scars would show.”
There are physical and emotional consequences of “just” verbal abuse. The effects of parental verbal aggression were comparable to “those associated witnessing domestic violence or nonfamilial sexual abuse.” In fact, verbal aggression produced larger effects than familial physical abuse. There’s evidence too that exposure to verbal abuse in childhood actually alters the structure of the brain especially during the middle school years, when the brain is actively developing, exposure to peer bullying and verbal abuse caused changes to the white matter in the brain.
Just because we can’t see the wounds doesn’t mean they aren’t literally and physically there. The rise of juvenile crime is linked to childhood emotional abuse. We must get parents and teachers understand that harsh words can have serious consequences.
My name is Sarah, I am but three, My eyes are swollen,I cannot see
I must be stupid, I must be bad, What else could have made, My Daddy so mad?
I wish i were better, I wish i weren’t ugly, Then maybe my mummy, Would still want to hug me
I can’t speak at all, I can’t do a wrong, Or else i’m locked up, All day long
When I awake, I’m all alone, The house is dark, My parents aren’t home
When mummy does come, I’ll try to be nice, Then maybe I’ll just get, One whipping tonight
Don’t make a sound, I just heard a car, My daddy is back, From Charlies bar
I hear him curse, My name he calls, I press myself, Against the wall
I try to hide, From his evil eyes, Im so afraid now, I’m starting to cry
He finds me weeping, He shouts ugly words, He says its my fault, That he suffers at work
He slaps me and hits me, And yells at me more, I finally get free, And run for the door
He’s already locked it, And i start to bawl, He takes me and throws me, Against the hard wall
I fall to the floor, With my bones badly broken, And my daddy continues, With more bad words spoken
I’m sorry, I scream, But its now much too late, His face has been twisted , Into unimaginable hate
The hurt and the pain, Again and again, Oh please God have mercy, Oh please let it end
And he finally stops, And heads for the door, While I lay there motionless, Sprawled on the floor
My name is Sarah , I am but three, Tonight my daddy, Murdered me
MY NAME WAS SARAH ...........
He had lusty eyes...He Had 9" Dick ...but it was his past .
What so Cruel ??????
It's just two drops of Acid
Physical Castration as Punishment for Rape ..Why Not ???
She was 'Raped' because .................................
She was Sexy
She wore a short skirt
She wore pants
She walked at night
She was at home alone
She was HIV positive
She was a virgin
She was his wife
She was a student in his class
She worked for him
She live in the suburbs
She fought back
She didn't fight back
She was drunk
She didn't scream
She was asking for it
She was RAPED .....................
Because
...................
HE IS A 'RAPIST' !
When she was drunk ...I backed off because My strength is not for Hurting .
Men can Stop Rape

2019, was a great year. We have started our 01 year Digital Campaign 'FORGET ME NOT: Go Achromatic for a cause' with the motive to Say No to VAWGC (Violence against Women, Girls & Children) under the auspices of Swapnil Saundarya & Painter Babu Rishabh............
This one year #digital #campaign was started in Januray 2019 with the mission to win the battle against social evils in the form of VAWGC prevailing in our society. We combined #technology, #socialmedia, the #arts, #journalism, religion, #culture, #business and #activism in a bid to highlight the many ways in which violence devastates women, girls and children through this digital campaign. This campaign has popularized the black and white colours as a symbol of personal commitment to the eradication of violence against women,girls and children.
The black and white colour dress or ribbon symbolises the commitment of the wearer to “never commit or condone violence against the vulnerable, and to speak out about violence where they see it”.
We have also introduced the concepts called Participatory communication and action, Art Activism and Protest Art through this campaign. Participatory communication has been defined as “a dynamic, interactional, and transformative process of dialogue between people, groups, and institutions that enables people, both individually and collectively, to realize their full potential and be engaged in their own welfare.”
Art Activism is a dynamic practice combining the creative power of the arts to move us emotionally with the strategic planning of activism necessary to bring about social change. And Protest art acts as an important tool to form social consciousness, create networks, operate accessibly, and be cost-effective. Social movements produce such works as the signs, banners, posters, and other printed materials used to convey a particular cause or message.
We tried our level best to change the mindset of the people up to some extent and made many women and girls realize that it is not their destiny to tolerate all sorts of exploitation, harassment and discriminations. There is an urgent need to create an environment conducive and motivating to their social, economical and political empowerment. We believe that all women, girls and children have the right to be free from physical, sexual and psychological violence. Violence against women, girls and children is never justifiable and can be prevented.
The campaign will draw to its close in December 2019. Every ending is always a new beginning. When something ends, something new begins and a new beginning is always a new opportunity. Keeping this fact in mind, we take great pride to announce 'The Bold Brigade’, a collective to celebrate the Inclusive Power of Arts.
