Freedom we need

Though it looks free not everyone can pursue the education they like at a time they want to. This has a major role in the society we reside in.

· Freedom to Marry

The Freedom to Marry and Divorce anyone without being judged by society.

· Freedom to sexuality

Every individual must be free to talk about, study about, share about, and practice his sexuality. Everyone must have the Freedom to pursue physical attraction and pleasures.

· Freedom to discuss crimes

The ability to talk about the crimes you have witnessed or endured without any legal or social consequences is the freedom we need. This will enable people to help victims like Nirbhaya without the fear of being harassed and cross-questioned by the police.
