Time : 2:00 pm onwards
Entry : Free
Meeting Place : Outside Mohan Singh Place, Connaught Place, New Delhi
Landmark : next to Rivoli
Venue Info : Map | Nearest Metro Station - 'Rajiv Chowk' (Yellow Line and Blue Line)
Area : Connaught Place (CP)
Event Description : A Month of Rage since the Supreme Court Judgement on 377IPC
Itinerary :
2 pm: Gather outside Mohan Singh Place (next to Rivoli), Connaught Place, New Delhi
We shall gather to collect the placards, flyers, flags and divide ourselves into small groups to do flash demonstrations in different metro lines.
4 pm: Come Together in Central Park, Connaught Place, New Delhi
We will stay for as long as we can and end with a candle light vigil.
Background : The Supreme Court judgement to uphold Section 377 and criminalize same sex desire and behaviour as 'unnatural' presents a serious challenge to the Right to Life and Dignity of LGBTQ individuals and to the Right to Sexuality of all citizens of India. There has been a lot of support to our struggle against these oppressive laws, from the media, political and people's movements, political parties, and government representatives as well. As the legal proceedings continue, let us remind ourselves of the battles we have already waged within our own lives and in the society that we live in, every single day of our lives. This struggle continues today with an even greater uproar to make ourselves be heard and be seen. We exist and we shall not be invisiblized. So this is the time to come out and reclaim the freedom. Freedom- that is rightfully ours!
We call on all of you who believe in equal rights and freedom without discrimination, as laid out in the Constitution of India; to come out with us on the streets and claim these rights.
This is a Call for Solidarity- within and with the queer community and with all other struggles for rights against oppression.
