Quote by Aida Mandic

“Jyoti was nicknamed the “New Delhi braveheart” for her heroic courage in trying to fight to save her life. The Indian press named her “Nirbhaya” (the fearless one). The editor of a Delhi-based tabloid, Mail Today, disclosed Jyoti’s identity. However, Delhi police registered a criminal case against the editor. Indian law forbids revealing the name of a rape victim unless the family agrees to it. That is not right!”

“Jyoti had a bright future ahead of her. She was a physiotherapy student. Her father sold his ancestral land to educate her. He even worked double shifts to continue to pay for her schooling. Her father stated that when he was a youth, he dreamed of becoming a schoolteacher. However, education was not considered important at the time. Furthermore, girls were not even sent to school. Hateful crimes and actions must be addressed in schools, governments, and among the police so that such evil never occurs again! However, the Indian government has yet to do something meaningful to resolve rape culture in India. It is deplorable that such barbaric and heinous acts are not dealt with to the fullest extent of the law!”

“ictims of human rights abuses should not suffer in silence. Their voices deserve to be heard, recognized, accepted, and celebrated. They have the right to stand up for themselves and ensure that they have a better quality of life than what they have experienced. People who degrade those who have been oppressed are ignorant and foolish. They fail to consider that evil that is dismissed is given the opportunity to develop into a very serious problem that can affect the lives of many people, including their own life.”

“That free time is one of the biggest barriers to activism was, in a way, proven in the summer of 2020, as the protests over George Floyd and the slew of other Black lives lost became the most attended protests in American history. Up to twenty-six million Americans participated, a number that would be unthinkable were it not for the converging COVID-19 epidemic and the unprecedented amount of free time that accompanied it.”

“In addition, TST's religion carried with it a mandate for action ─ as one TST leader put it, "Activism is our form of worship." By fighting for equal rights and standing against theocracy, Satanists can follow the example of our beloved literary symbol Satan, who stood up against an unjust tyrant.”
