Tanushree Dutta Questions Swara Bhaskar: Why Does She Want Women To Not Be Anonymous? I'm Surprised!
Swara Bhaskar said that women should not be anonymous in the #MeToo movement as that hampers investigation. Tanushree Dutta spoke against it & said women want to be anaonymous as it's not comfortable.
The
#MeToo
movement
is
gaining
steam
all
across
the
country
and
several
women
have
come
out
by
naming
and
shaming
their
harassers
in
public.
While
some
have
come
out
openly,
the
others
have
remained
under
the
cloak
of
being
anonymous.
Just
a
few
weeks
ago,
Swara
Bhaskar,
a
spear-header
of
the
#MeToo
movement
herself,
stated
that
women
should
not
be
anonymous
while
naming
their
sexual
harassers
as
that
hepls
the
investigation
to
find
facts
and
corroborates
stories
and
bring
justice.
However,
Tanushree
Dutta
has
a
different
take
on
the
issue.
Here's
what
she
had
to
say...
Tanushree
Dutta
Replies
To
Swara
Bhaskar
Who
Discouraged
Women
To
Be
Anonymous
"I'm
surprised
she
said
that
(Swara
Bhaskar).
See,
this
movement
is
a
more
like
a
social
cleansing.
Offences
of
a
sexual
nature
can
never
be
so
black
and
white,
you
cannot
always
try
them
in
a
court
of
law.
That's
why
today
in
our
country
there
are
so
many
cases
that
have
not
yet
come
to
their
judgement," she
said
to
LiveMint.
Women
Should
Wear
Cameras
On
Their
Foreheads
For
Proof?
"You
cannot
always
bring
proof
-
women
will
have
to
wear
cameras
on
their
foreheads
if
one
has
to
prove
everything
that
has
happened
to
them."
Women
Will
Be
Anonymous
Because
They're
Not
Comfortable
Talking
"When
something
like
a
social
media
movement
happens,
I'm
sorry
this
is
how
it
goes.
Some
people
are
going
to
be
anonymous
because
they
are
just
not
comfortable
talking."
I'm
Still
Waiting
For
Justice,
Says
Tanushree
Dutta
"You
know
harassment
when
you
experience
it.
You
know
it
is
not
light-hearted,
it
affects
you.
It
has
led
to
people
leaving
their
jobs,
you
becoming
incapable
of
doing
your
job.
Workplace
harassment
makes
it
difficult
to
go
on
working.
Not
to
forget
that
I'm
still
waiting
for
justice."
It
is
imperative
that
anonymous
accounts
be
discouraged.
Brave
women
are
sharing
their
names
and
stories,
enabling
other
women
to
speak
up.
We
need
thorough,
investigative
journalism
that
questions
both
alleged
perpetrators
&
victims
&
corroborates
stories
&
fact
finds.
