My Crew Run Deep ...


The Gulabi gang is a group of women vigilantes active across North India ... It is named after the pink saris worn by its members ... The group was founded as a response to widespread domestic abuse and other violence against women ... Gulabis visit abusive husbands and beat them with bamboo sticks ... In 2008, they stormed an electricity office and forced officials to restore the power they had cut to extract bribes ... The Gulabis have also stopped child marriages and protested dowry and female illiteracy ...

Interesting. Pink is for cure of cancer but still interesting.

Colours can represent whatever people want to associate with them ... They're not exclusive to anything in particular ...
