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.
