fifisinclaire: songsaboutmary: stfusexists: hadarlikestoblog: BAD GIRLS DO IT WELL The Gulabi gang is a group of women vigilantes active across North India. It is named after the pink saris worn by its members. The group was founded as a response to widespread domestic abuse and other violence against women. Gulabis visit abusive husbands and beat them with bamboo sticks. In 2008, they stormed an electricity office and forced officials to restore the power they had cut to extract bribes. The Gulabis have also stopped child marriages and protested dowry and female illiteracy. Will never not reblog Gulabi gang.  yes maam Needs to be a gang sign for this if ever there was one.
