00:00What is the issue of civic awareness?

00:04Civic awareness is not a political issue.

00:09This has to be said very clearly.

00:13We have not come to form a political party.

00:17We have not come to spread freedom.

00:20We have only come from different backgrounds.

00:26We have come together as a collective.

00:35There is a saying here in West Bengal

00:40that women have no right to speak.

00:43There is another saying that women have no right to speak.

00:47What do we mean by women?

00:50We mean to say that any person,

00:53a woman, a protestor,

00:56or any person who thinks of herself as a woman

01:01and introduces herself as a woman,

01:04we will use the word woman from now on.

01:09This is what is written in our letter.

01:12The truth is that we all had a psychological state

01:21after the Arthikar incident.

01:24We were all in that state.

01:27I know that at that time,

01:30it was very difficult and impossible.

01:34We were all in that state.

01:37And from that, we started to think

01:40that what can we do in our state

01:43so that the safety and independence of women

01:47can be maintained for a long time.

01:51Arthikar has done this before.

01:54He has done this before.

01:57He has done this after Arthikar.

02:00We all know this.

02:04But we want to do something like this

02:07so that we can create an idea

02:10so that women's independence can be maintained in this state.

02:15And we believe that if the administration

02:18works with us,

02:21if the administration is with us,

02:24we will be able to do this.

02:27There is a need to say that

02:30we are not doing anything for the government

02:33or any other party.

02:36We are only doing it for the civil society.

02:39Why is this organization called

02:42Civil Consciousness?

02:45Because we believe that

02:48if any political party

02:51or any political party

02:54or any political party

02:57is able to move forward,

03:00then a citizen needs to be conscious

03:03about the political party.

03:06And we have written that

03:09after Arthikar's incident,

03:12the consciousness of a great political party

03:15was in the hands of the people.

03:18When the consciousness of a citizen

03:21is in the hands of the people,

03:24then we have the right

03:27to be conscious

03:30and vigilant.

03:33And the government

03:36or any party

03:39who is in the hands of the government

03:42and the administration

03:45should work with them

03:48and say that

03:51we want to change

03:54the political consciousness

03:57of the people.
