What’s the Hidden Meaning of Rhea’s Smash Patriarchy T-Shirt Message ?

Ever since the actress Rhea Chakraborty was arrested this Friday by NCB, she was seen wearing a black T-Shirt with a slogan that read ‘Roses are red, violets are blue, let’s smash the patriarchy, me and you. Soon many of the actors were seen taking her side and coming out with the same message. These included actors like Vidya Balan, Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Shibani Dandekar, and Dia Mirza to name a few. A few of these actors even posted their photos with the same T-shirt carrying the same message. 

They all came with the message to support Rhea with the hashtag – #JusticeForRhea. The fact of the matter even Rhea wanted this to happen, which made many to choose the same and remained the part of the campaign. Soon the T-shirt went viral in B Town and they started posting their photos using their social media handles. Well, are you wondering what is behind wearing the same T-shirt? The message came from the group called Giveme5 and they shared the message with the T-shirt discussing the campaign.

A T-shirt went viral yesterday. Here’s a little backstory. Back in 2018, our @giveher5 team ran a campaign called ‘Roses are Red’ in collaboration with @thesouledstore. The aim of this campaign was to raise awareness about key issues surrounding gender inequality and women empowerment. In turn, we raised funds to support every girl’s right to menstrual hygiene. Due to popular demand, along with @thesouledstore, we’ve decided to relaunch our campaign. Join us in our effort to raise awareness and funds. 1 T-Shirt Sold = 1 Girl’s Yearly Requirement of Sanitary Napkins. The T-shirts are now live, help us change the narrative – #linkinbio • • • #GiveHer5 #TheSouledStore #smashpatriarchy #rosesarered #expressyourself #menstruationmatters #everydaysexism #womenempowerment #empowerwomen #feminist #sharemycycle #letssmashpatriarchy #genderequality #periodpoverty #patriarchy
