It must have been a happy moment for those women inmates who were transferred from Tihar to semi open jails. But what about those women who are stuck in the overcrowded prisons in India. From other articles by Vartika Mam, it is clear that there are only 18 prisons in India which are for women and the condition of women in many of these prisons are indeed very saddening. Even though we talk about women's rights in different fields, this is one area that goes unnoticed. Shifting a few inmates to semi open jails is only a small step towards prison reform. The government needs to take a lot more steps in the journey reformation. #tinkatinka #prisonreforms #humanrights
Some women inmates were transferred to semi-open jails and that is a good news but what about others? the world's second most populous country has just 18 women jails, I personally feel India needs to have more open jails as well as more women jails. #vartikananda #tinkatinka #jail #prison
Women empowerment has taken the form of women emancipation, we talk of gender equality and hope to see it soon in the society. We say prisons aren't a part of the society yet women inmates cease to have access to libraries or phonecalls because they are a part of the prison structure meant for male inmates. Women are forced to live in narrow spaces, so much that after a point of time they experience pain while walking. If the prison is different from society then why are women not encouraged for outdoor games if it is the same as society then why are the prison inmates treated otherwise? These are questions, the answers to which we may not be wise enough to have. #vartikananda #tinkatinka #jail #prison
Dr. Vartika Nanda provides interesting insight on women inmates and the issue of women prisons. Through Tinka Tinka Jail Reforms, Vartika Nanda has pioneered a movement in India focusing on prison reforms and reformation of the inmates by encouraging them through art, culture, literature, and media. She has written three books Tinka Tinka Tihar, Tinka Tinka Madhya Pradesh, Tinka Dasna, and gives a true representation of life inside prisons. Instead of sensationalizing, she has written about the true and lived experiences of inmates and even their children who unfortunately are also lodged inside prisons. She brings a softer side to inmates who are troubled because they can’t meet their families, but even the smallest of things gives them joy like music, dancing, painting, etc. Her newest initiative is opening a prison radio in Haryana, she has earlier done so in Agra. Workshops were held to train inmates and to develop their talents and creativity. The work of Dr. Vartika Nanda, the founder of the movement of prison reforms in India, is a testament to the idea that rehabilitation and not punishment is the answer. The radio will also keep the inmates informed about their rights and will give them respite in these challenging times of the pandemic when the inmates cannot have any visitors.#tinkatinka #tinkamodelofprisonreforms #vartikananda #prisonreforms
