Amara Chirim Brand launches a campaign for Rape and Harrassment victims tagged #ISaidNo

The Amara Chirim Brand has launched a campaign against Rape and harrassment for both genders on the basis of anonymity. This campaign is set to reach out to rape victims who are scared to speak up due to societal stigmatization. They have created an avenue where these victims will write a mail without their picture and send to the Brand's mail; amarachirim@gmail.com. This will help a lot of people get things off their chest as the world currently dosen't want to listen to the male gender and few are paying attention to the female gender. Most people are scared to speak so as not to be tagged a liar, that is what this campaign aims to resolve. Speak your truth, send that mail and it'll be published for the world to see(without your email of course). Male or female are advised to write, because men get raped too and it should be treated with the same energy as the female cases. You said No! Own it! Send your mails and feedbacks to amarachirim@gmail.com
