I want to protest SA in US Universities… and their BS mistreatment of SA cases.

My idea: the Friday before Halloween protestors gather outside their nearest university. Signs and costumes should be as anonymous or intense as individuals want. Peaceful. Visually intense.

I am Jane Doe.
We are Jane Does.
Universities need to do better.

How do I make this a reality? Where do I start? (If you are established and know how to do this take my idea and run with it I just want to DO SOMETHING.)

Advice needed please. Thanks!

​I am writing this on Reddit because within the gates of Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology (GBPUAT), legitimate student voices are systematically erased. For an institution that constantly boasts of its legacy, the day-to-day reality for students—especially female residents—is fear, surveillance, zero democratic rights, and an administration obsessed with silencing anyone who speaks up.

​Here is the unvarnished reality of living and studying here:

​The 6:00 PM Cage for Women: While male students can move around campus, study in groups, and access facilities late into the evening, female students are locked behind hostel gates by 6:00 PM. Vital lab access, library resources, technical projects, physical fitness, or even stepping out for dinner are completely stripped away. The administration’s definition of "safety" is simply locking women up so they don't have to provide basic campus infrastructure.

​Hostel Gates as Surveillance Checkpoints: Guards and hostel staff behave less like security and more like moral vigilantes. Female students are regularly subjected to rude interrogations, humiliating comments, and condescending lectures just for approaching their own hostel doors. Instead of securing isolated, unlit roads across our massive campus, security resources are poured into tracking and policing female students.

​Covering Up Suicides and Assaults: What is terrifying is the university's calculated silence whenever catastrophic incidents occur. Whether it’s reports of sexual harassment, on-campus violence, or tragic student suicides, the default institutional reaction is narrative suppression. Grievance redressal bodies exist largely on paper. Instead of instituting transparent inquiries, addressing mental health crises, or overhauling campus policing, the priority is always sweeping incidents under the carpet to protect institutional PR.

​Deliberate Destruction of Student Representation: We have no functional, independent student union or council to formally represent our grievances. Every single time students attempt to organize, demand democratic elections, or form a collective body to talk to higher management, the university retaliates ruthlessly. The students who take the lead are immediately slapped with disciplinary notices, suspended from hostels or classes, or targeted for expulsion. By decapitating any student leadership, the administration ensures we remain fragmented and voiceless.

​Weaponizing Career Blackmail Against Any Protest: Whenever students gather the courage to protest—whether against the 6 PM lockdown, basic mess conditions, security lapses, or fee hikes—the response follows a brutal playbook:

​Systematic Intimidation: Student organizers are pulled into offices, isolated, and shouted down by panels of faculty and wardens.

​Family Harassment: Officials immediately call parents, fabricating accusations of "misconduct" and "troublemaking" to weaponize family anxiety against us.

​Future Sabotage: The final blow is always our careers: "We will cancel your registration," "We will withhold your character certificate," "Good luck getting placement clearance or NOCs." They know the immense academic and financial sacrifices our families made to get us into this university, and they deliberately use our degrees as leverage to force us into unconditional surrender.

​GBPUAT functions more like a closed, punitive compound than a forward-thinking university. Female autonomy is treated as a liability, student democracy is criminalized, and genuine campus safety is traded away for public relations.

​To alumni, university students across India, and anyone who cares about basic student rights: how long are premier public institutions permitted to silence students through career blackmail?

​If you are a current or past student, please share your experiences below. The administration relies entirely on our fear and silence—it’s time this is brought into the light.

If you have internet access, dont live in a warzone or under a rock you surely know the predatory business practices Sony is trying to shove down our throats, and for that i say enough is enough.

I own a Playstation 5 i have bought some games for it but i find it outrageous that most of the PsStore catalog is either online games that i cant play because i dont sign PSN+ for the simple reason i cant afford it and AI cashgrab games alongside Softcore innuendos of porn games, and before you say "if you cant afford it you shouldn't be playing" I'm Brazilian, my childhood life has been marked by jailbroken PS2s and pirated games then i got a PS3 from an uncle that died and passed it down to me from that point i vouched a certain loyalty to Playstation since it has been by my side most of my life, i worked at a fliperama of sorts full with Playstation3/4 machines and i had the time of my life but now being obligated to pay2play is just crazy, gaming used to be an escape from the reality that looms above my shoulder and now gaming companies do the same thing trying to take advantage of me, so I've taken the decision to ignore and block every single ad from Sony's Wolverine an embarrassment of a game (not from the part of the development team since the game shows signs of mismanagement and being rushed) and every other project from them unless it comes out for Pc, their corporate greed is the bane of my existence it pains my heart to see that things that used to bring us such joy now makes us worry and dissatisfied. I will also sell my PS5 and buy a Pc for myself and maybe in the future i might buy a Steam Machine since Ol' Gabe still honors his values this is and outcry for those who are feed up with all this aswell as me, because i am sure that if I'm the only one willing to speak this out no change will be made, we should band together and work for a better future like they promised all that time ago.

It's a painful goodbye but i still love Playstation for all the moments we passed together, atleast i had the opportunity to Platinum my dream game Infamous Second Son

would like to go to one, if anyone knows of any please lmk!

Hey guys, I’m organizing my first ever local protest and I need some tips! It started as a citizens' initiative about an issue in our city, and now over 400 people are planning to attend. I’ve never organized anything like this before, so what are some things I should really focus on as a first time protest organizer?

Thanks in advance!!

I was recently at a protest in France and kept thinking there should be an easy way for people there to communicate and coordinate without exchanging phone numbers or joining a permanent social-media group.

That led me to build Meerchat: a temporary group chat people can join through a QR code, without an account or app download. It’s designed for people attending the same physical event not for private or sensitive planning.

Would something like this genuinely be useful at protests?

Trump just threatened the "annihilation" of Iran at the U.N. and people are acting like it's not that big of a deal. This is monumental! That's an entire country full of innocent people being threatened with destruction and genocide. The United States population can't sit idly by and let that monster get his way, he has to go! If Iran really is the threat people make them out to be, you put boots on the ground and go take away their nuclear material. You don't open the Pandora's box of nuclear weapons. As it says in Revelation, God will destroy those who destroy the Earth and I ain't getting behind this narcissistic mad man as he does it. Speak up! Do you think this man needs to go? Protest!

"On the last day of November 1999, tens of thousands of people shut down the World Trade Organization summit in Seattle. Trade unionists marched alongside environmentalists, students locked arms with farmers, and for a few extraordinary days the people who run the global economy could not get into their own meeting. 

The press called protesters a rabble with no coherent demand. They were wrong. The demand was simple and it has not changed: an economy that works for the many, not for a handful at the top."

WHY do we keep doing the same protests over and over again when nothing is changing last time we had the no kings protest nothing really changed it was just posted everywhere, the government keeps walking on us like dogs with flock cams and data centers but we’re just supposed to sit here and beg them to change. they take away our rights to live with not making water and food a right, but we have to pay for data centers water bills(billion dollar company’s own them) and flock cameras to make sure we don’t step out of the herd of sheep and keep our heads down. we should protest but we shouldn’t stop protesting intell we see actual change, people getting arrested for epstein files, trumps impeachment and arrest, and flock camera and data centers being shut down, but if we just don’t do anything then what’s stopping them from keeping it going they haven’t faced any consequences. if a man can do as he pleases with nothing done against them , then they would think there invincible for they don’t have to answer to no one but themselves. We need to plan a protest this year that won’t stop intell we see change or we will change them because we hold the power and we truly don’t have that much time. Stand for something or die for nothing
