चैतन्य भारत न्यूज पूर्व केंद्रीय मंत्री एमजे अकबर द्वारा पत्रकार प्रिया रमानी के खिलाफ दायर मानहानि केस को दिल्ली की राउज एवेन्यू कोर्ट ने खारिज करते हुए उन्हें बरी कर दिया है। कोर्ट ने अपने फैसले में कहा कि महिला को दशकों के बाद भी अपनी शिकायत रखने का अधिकार है। इसके साथ ही राउज एवेन्यू कोर्ट ने मानहानि केस में प्रिया रमानी को बरी कर दिया है। कोर्ट ने क्या कहा? कोर्ट ने कहा, 'यौन शोषण आत्मसम्मान और आत्मविश्वास को ख़त्म कर देता है, किसी व्यक्ति की प्रतिष्ठा की सुरक्षा किसी के सम्मान की क़ीमत पर नहीं की जा सकती है, महिलाओं के पास दशकों बाद भी अपनी शिकायत रखने का अधिकार है, सामाजिक प्रतिष्ठा वाला व्यक्ति भी यौन शोषण कर सकता है।' राउज एवेन्यू कोर्ट ने कहा, 'पीड़ित को कई साल तक यह नहीं पता था कि उसके साथ क्या हो रहा है। महिला को अपने साथ हुए अपराध के बारे में कभी भी और कहीं भी अपने बात रखने का अधिकार है। दशकों के बाद भी महिला अपने के खिलाफ हुए अपराध के खिलाफ आवाज उठा सकती है। महिला को यौन शोषण अपराध के खिलाफ आवाज उठाने पर सजा नहीं दी जा सकती है।' कोर्ट ने कहा कि, 'समाज को यह समझना होगा कि महिलाओं पर यौन उत्पीड़न का कैसा असर होता है। इस तरह का उत्पीड़न गरिमा के खिलाफ है और यह आत्मविश्वास छीन लेता है। व्यक्तिगत गरिमा की कीमत पर किसी की छवि को बनाए नहीं रखा जा सकता। जो व्यक्ति सोशल स्टेटस रखता है, वह भी यौन उत्पीड़न कर सकता है। इस बात को नजरअंदाज नहीं किया जा सकता कि यौन उत्पीड़न के ज्यादातर मामले बंद दरवाजों के पीछे होते हैं।' कोर्ट ने कहा, 'संविधान ने अनुच्छेद 21 और समानता का अधिकार दिया है। प्रिया रमानी को अपनी पसंद के प्लेटफॉर्म पर आपबीती बताने का पूरा हक था। रामायण में सीता की मदद के लिए जटायु आगे आए थे। जब लक्ष्मण से भी सीता के बारे में बताने को कहा गया था तो उन्होंने कहा था कि उनकी नजर कभी सीता जी के पैरों से ऊपर ही नहीं गई। भारतीय मूल्यों में महिलाओं के प्रति सम्मान का यह एक उदाहरण है। शर्म की बात है कि महिलाओं के खिलाफ ऐसे देश में अपराध हो रहे हैं, जहां महिलाओं के सम्मान को लेकर महाभारत और रामायण लिखी जा चुकी है।' ये है मामला दरअसल, 2018 में जब देश में #MeToo कैम्पेन शुरू हुआ था, तब रमानी ने एमजे अकबर पर यौन उत्पीड़न करने का आरोप लगाया था। प्रिया रमानी ने जिस घटना का हवाला दिया था, वह करीब 20 साल पुरानी थी और तब अकबर भी पत्रकार थे। 20 साल बाद जब रमानी ने उनके नाम का खुलासा किया, तब अकबर मोदी सरकार में विदेश राज्य मंत्री बन चुके थे। रमानी के बाद करीब 20 महिला पत्रकारों ने अकबर पर छेड़खानी के आरोप लगाए थे। यौन उत्पीड़न के आरोपों के चलते 17 अक्टूबर 2018 को अकबर को मंत्री पद छोड़ना पड़ा। अकबर ने इसके बाद रमानी के खिलाफ मानहानि का केस किया था। Read the full article

Tanushree Dutta made the first dent in patriarchy's wall - Women in India have been fighting for their rightful place in society for decades; to study in the right schools and colleges, to be able to sit for competitive exams, to walk safely on roads, to work in safer offices that protect their integrity and not endanger it, to break the shackles of patriarchy. Women have been fighting for a place that is not beneath the man but with him, beside him. This struggle grew fiercer with former actress and model Tanushree Dutta's voice. Her story about sexual harassment was the same as a decade ago: Nana Patekar harassed her in 2008 (Dutta was all of 24 back then, while Patekar was 57) on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss. But there was a twist to the story this time around. Even as her allegations bought on a mind-numbing mix of criticism and doubt, Dutta received solidarity and belief — things that were denied to her the first time around. This time, though, people weren't quick to taint her. For every "she is doing it for the publicity, she has no work, she is lying", there were dozens of "I believe you". And perhaps that is all she wanted. the movement hadn't even taken shape as #MeToo. But she opened up about the ordeals of speaking up. "I would have done just fine by myself. I don't need a clutch to get publicity. Who really are these people to taint my claims like that!" she had exclaimed. She also recognised the need for a unanimous support system early on. "For how long will I fight this by myself? More and more women should come out with their stories. Only then can we bring about a change in this patriarchal set-up," she had said. Armed with a belief in herself, Dutta spearheaded an uprising against the hush-hush politics of sexual harassment at the workplace. Within hours of her first interview with a channel, women were ousting predators on social media. Women used the same anonymity that was used against them as a weapon. Men in powerful positions across sector were felled — former minister of external affairs and journalist MJ Akbar, Queen director and one-part of the Phantom production trio, Vikas Bahl, and Flipkart CEO Binny Bansal to name a few. All it took was for a spark, and Dutta provided it. Tanushree’s Trauma The actress and model alleged that Nana Patekar, 33 years her senior, harassed her in 2008 on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss. She had originally made the claims several years ago, but people weren’t as quick to taint her anymore. Dutta received solidarity and belief, things that were denied to her a decade ago.
