By now everyone has heard of #MeToo. And if you haven’t, where have you not been the past few days? The campaign started by actress Alyssa Milano has spread like wildfire. They aren’t just two words anymore, together they symbolise an entire revolution.
But, cynics have been telling me that nothing is going to happen with hashtags. Authorities will still be as callous and perverts will still be on the lose.
However, here to prove you wrong is the Kolkata police. In a Facebook post, they joined the #MeToo campaign rendering their support to all victims. They said,
“#metoo
Yesterday and today, we found Facebook and Twitter full of the metoo hashtag, which exposes the shocking number of women who have been subject to sexual harassment.
We at Kolkata Police have been perturbed by the number of women who have shared #metoo. And we would also like to reiterate our pledge and commitment by saying that we hear every single one of you.
We are here to take your complaints every time you want to report a case of sexual harassment. So walk into our police stations whenever you want to report sexual harassment, and our officers are there to hear your experiences with patience and kindness and take your complaints. We urge you to be strong, we want you to be very, very angry about the leering, jeering, threats, verbal and physical abuses, we are asking you to be not afraid and to report to the police every time.
We also feel it important to talk to boys about the need to stop sexual harassment, and for this, we have recently launched a project, Dear Boys, in schools. We have visited ten schools of Kolkata, and the second part of Dear Boys will start mid-November.”

Kolkata police have been etching a mark for themselves on social media. Their speedy response in putting the “I will rape you untill you bleed from your ass” guy behind bars. Now with this Facebook post. Well, they are definitely garnering a fanbase here at Storypick.
