Why Loiter?
Why Loiter?: Women and Risk on Mumbai Streets by Shilpa Phadke points out that "loitering" is viewed negatively in Indian society, and women are expected to have a legitimate reason for being out in public. Otherwise, they may be considered not conforming to societal expectations of being a "respectable woman." This perspective reflects a common narrative of victim blaming prevalent in patriarchal societies, where women are advised to move from one sheltered space to another , and any deviation from this norm is seen as a moral deficiency by default.
Women have the right to freely navigate urban spaces without fear or judgment. Shilpa Phadke proposes a social initiative that encourages women's "loitering" to occupy urban public spaces, advocating for the creation of a more inclusive and equitable urban environment where women can move about freely without the fear of being labeled or subjected to shame.
Loitering around Blaak
The weather was lovely and we took a nice walk around Blaak, sharing memories of our individual hometowns.
