ah irish energy, welcome to the w news asia. glad you could join us. police in india have charged the countries wrestling federation chief with sexual harassment against women athletes. bridge push and seeing has been accused of sexually harassing female restaurants, including a minor, over a period of 10 years starting in 2012. many of india as most well known names and female rest thing, including olympic metal, it's such a molig, initially demanded action back in january, they led protests on behalf of women who had reached out to them, alleging harassment from bridge push and sing. but seeing authorities dragging their feet on the matter forced the women back on to the streets in april. this is neither a playground nor a gymnasium, but

a new daily seat where in decent div just lives have been practicing this and coaching students every morning. they are hill for a reason. this is the gender month or area, a designated protest site in the city. where for the past week, professional wrestlers, including some olympic medals, have been sitting, to demand justice. they demand the arrest of bridge pushing thing, the head of the wrestling federation of india for sexual harassment, a thing who is also a top politician for the governing b, g, b. i digitally sexually harassed multiple women wrestlers for years. this is the 2nd time protesters have taken to the street. this year. they accused the government of dragging is he's with an inquiry. 7 women including a my know, have filed a complaint against sing. who denies the allegations. olympic medalist oxy malik? seems sexual abuse of women has been a long standing problem in the wrestling community and likely in other sports still

living there must be a lot more women who have been harassed, but not everyone can have the courage to come forward. but all of us here, men and women finally decided that enough is enough. malick says it's important to end the menace of abuse that she says most indian women face. many people have come out in support of the wrestling community raving lovins, demanding onset from the government. asking that if this is the situation of the sports women in the country, those who win meadows for the country bring laurel to the country. it visit the theater that bad to stage a protest against sexual harassment. then what about other women across the country? what all do they have to deal with money. and holly is a women's rights activists online. she says every organization in india has to have a committee to look into, complains of sexual harassment, a mandate. she says the federation ignored me. never heard of any coming in.

yes, we do not know what the members, if that is a commonly nobody is amir. neither are these wrestler them in the wrestler said they will continue the protest till thing isn't jail every bit about that. you love her. yeah. it's unfortunate that we had to take to the streets. we've been sleeping and eating here for days that quickly girls are getting the wrong message. if we do not get justice this time, nobody will be able to raise their voice. malik said she and her fellow wrestlers have put everything nasty in this fight. and they are not about to back down. all right, let's get more context on these from leading women's rights law. dr. charles wiley come mom. she was also a member of india national commission for women. and during me, from a deli dr. come up to police or find 2 cases of sexual harassment against her in dallas, resting for the dish, and chief bridge bush and sing. why then does he continue to remain at his post?

see the lease finally had the police is not find the cases on its own. unfortunately, they drag their feet and it was only on the order of the supreme court that the police, while the cases and what is very shocking is that the rule of law is totally been violated. because apart from 350 for that which is sexual harassment and the boy checked the box away, that is the prevention of children, protection of to learn from sexual harassment. and that really clearly says that there has to be mandatory reporting. what is mandate to reporting mandate to forty's? if anyone comes to know that an offense has been committed or is going to be committed immediately, the police has to be informed and they have to find out a district they have to registered. and if i know what is most shocking is that these children have been on the road for so long, and the police refuse simply refused to file and fire. and according to the new

law, which is the amendment in the i p. c. under section 1668. if the police refuses to fire is especially when we're women's issues or concerns a sexual harassment. i mean the person can be prosecuted, but it's, you said everything on god law has been sworn to the wing. and finally, with the girls had to go to the supreme court who's given an order on the basis of which the police has finally registered the case. so what they're saying in simple terms of, but the police needn't on waiting for the supreme court to question them. the police should have acted on their own looking at the nature of the complaints for being made to them. correct? absolutely not. the thought offense has been made and they will do do bound door registered a k, especially where the girls are my nose. but they didn't know it. and you're,

in my opinion, you know, dragging their feet you're an advocate of practices in the supreme court of india. so you've seen all manner of cases come before the court. what in your view is the reason that the police were dragging their feet in this matter? she doing many reasons. why not dan? this is the bus and he was politically connected. so he tried every trick or under the nor to get the case or just start against him because then you'll be exposed and they do probably investigation which he was trying to avoid. and that investigation, he not be a vote or, you know, kind of manually the investigation especially since it was being monitored by the supreme court of india. the 2nd news that whenever women complain of had assessment, i mean they were all kinds of whatsapp messages and chose a means say more, how can a woman less lobbyist?

does anyone have the got a your, the him much. what the word did you do you and had it. so you went back to woman, just look the death of a b 2 article i outlook did it. so about a power equation. he is a man in power and he has misused his power to had is these young girls and in sports grooming is not a nor no phenomenal. you know, where the coaches tend to green the children. they make them think that they and these girls may have to come because everyone say, why did they sit down? and they told him to day away b a. but because the girl, it's like a quid pro cool. you know the girls, they were worried about. they could years and the young girls from little background to worried about because he must have made some kind of thing that and the selection he must have influence the selection process. and let me tell you that the sexual harvest moon brewington act portia 2013 very clearly says that

any action, any implied preferential treatment or debt to which is detrimental, falls under the category of sexual how to smooth. so he is trying to, he thinks he's above the law as these politically connected people out. and he's trying to, you know, kind of, but now things have to stop. the young women are changing and raising their voice. or i do want to talk to you about the patriarchy aspect that you raised, but just on the point of law isn't in the law of the land. that also, that these forts bodies like other organization than in the need to have sexual harassment committees. and does not appear to be the case that based on a government investigation into this particular case, it appears that the resting reservation of india did not have such a sexual harassment body. and if that is the case, does that not make sense given that the person who was having it is himself been accused of sexual harassment?

who absolutely is no or shanked. very clearly says that every body, irrespective or you know what they're involved in any organization more than 10 people they have to have are in turner's committee and they don't in committee has to be headed by a woman. and i'm or not. oh yeah, well my not woman was a senior member because you know, cases like this to come up. it's the place is what it was, issues of authority and book in the good barlow who indicted this kind of sexual how to smokes. so that is why the law specifically says that i'm seeing, assuming they did not have it and the complaint was against the federation. chief it says then with discipline doesn't think well look incompletes committee because it's the end of the district here. no. nominates the members. so the complaint could have gone there for him for an impartial, unbiased view. apparently the government taking cognizance of this appointed a high level committee on dog medical, which is because he's

a very senior level box of a senior level at lead. but again, it's very clear, the law is very clear that within 10 days of the report, they have to share the report with what the bodies are normally the, you know, the week them spent also that, that they treat to. right. but unfortunately, in this case, it's been like 4 months and nobody knows where it is, the report, nobody is heard about it. so there's been many, i would say, you know it gaps in the lot taking its place in the lot taking place. i do want to come back to the point about be tracking that your grades and who aren't there because i think it's important to this particular case because vinnish for that, one of the protesting wrestlers. speaking to the indian express newspaper, i had said, and i called when women raised their voice, they are targeted 1st, they ask, how did we give the courage to speak against the system on court? does this in

a way indicate that the odds are stacked against women athletes in india? that is their voice. again, searching harassment. so there's your daughter going to it. it's not only the or just stacked against women that leads the stack dog or just stacked against swimming percy, that's why there's more reporting. and one, do you see that the state has the highest number of rapes according to if i add, i see, i don't see it from the point. see that this is actually registering the cases. it's does not the registration look if i was not catching the true picture. it is only it was nearby. women got the courage to come out and you know, report the not does what's happening. i'm handling go cases on a given my and who has been supporting them financially and otherwise i know the police does not drink, especially newly or they are not registering cases and i did on the company and they learned some number. so, i mean it's, it's

a very sad situation and these girls, what leads? i mean, this is happening with olympians. william pins works. gotcha. who have prestige school? i roy more deals for, for, you know, the young generation. this is happening with them. you can imagine what is the condition of the common walk blows in early? right, we're live there. thank you so much for joining us today. dr. charo vonny come off under so much and that does it for monday. there's more stories from the region on our website you tomorrow, but 100 german street on d. w. oh, nice as to what did you do the flu? i believe the tenant fantastic. ah, she survived auschwitz,
