This man is at the rally yesterday in Srinagar demanding justice for Asifa. The doll, which others also carried, represents little Asifa & protection for all children against violence from gender, ethnic, religious, caste, & class oppression. Gender violence under the occupation of Kashmir involves harassment, assault, mass rapes where demands for justice go unheard. So the case of Asifa resonates profoundly with the struggle against occupation & the call for azadi that a new society without such violence can be built.
