Introduction
Several episodes of Satyamev Jayate dealt with gender-based violence and the issues surrounding it.
After every episode, thousands of viewers wrote, sharing their own experiences of violence. This booklet
brings together a selection of a cross section of those narratives. Deeply disturbing, these stories are a
snapshot of our society.
We are privileged to have an energising and inspiring Preface to this booklet from veteran feminist
activist and social scientist, Kamla Bhasin. Her work has inspired generations to aspire for and work
towards an India in which there is equality between genders. We publish this booklet in the hope that it
might make a contribution, however miniscule, towards making this vision of an equal India, a reality.
Please feel free to share this booklet. All names in it, unless specifically mentioned otherwise, have been
changed, to protect identity.
Warmly,
Team Satyamev Jayate
