Gulabi Gang

Who? What?

I was really surprised that I came across this article online at MarieClaire. I don't remember hearing the name being mentioned, but that maybe because I dont watch the news everyday. Apparently, they are a bunch of women who have turned rebel for a good cause. In their pink sarees, they stand out, both because of the costume and the sad tale in the depth of their eyes. I googled it and came up with a video and quiet a few articles.
Gulabi Gang ( The pink women of India)



In one of the most backward regions of India, Uttar Pradesh, village women dressed in pink saris are getting togther to fight corruption and injustice and to raise their voices against the system. It was formed in 2006 and has largely grown to thousands of members from over 300 villages. Not only for themselves, but for everyone in need, Gulabi gang preforms peaceful demonstrations to prove their point... without violence. Inspiration personified.
