00:00If you're a rapist, no one says,
00:02Iski toh izzat lod gayi.
00:03He has lost his respect.
00:05Instead, if a woman has been raped,
00:07we are saying,
00:08Iski izzat lod gayi.
00:10But much more in India
00:11and other developing countries
00:13where there is just so much of victim shaming
00:16and the victim is thought of as having lost something irrevocably.
00:22Izzat chale gayi.
00:23It intrigues me.
00:24Whose izzat?
00:25Izzat is honour.
00:26Whose izzat?
00:28The woman lost her respectability.
00:31If there is someone who has lost his dignity,
00:34his self-worth, his self-respect,
00:37it is the perpetrator of the crime.
00:39It is the rapist.
00:40But no one says the rapist lost his honour.
