The 4B (4비) Movement stands for the four Korean words: Bihon, Bichulsan, Biyeonae, and Bisekseu, which translate to heterosexual marriage, childbirth, romance, and sexual relationships. The movement essentially eliminates any romantic or sexual partnerships with men.

The 4B movement utilised the power of social media to digitalise this movement and garner attention worldwide. The 4B Movement began with the Escape the Corset movement, a reaction against the confines of patriarchal society.

Stories of women walking away from the theatre traumatised by what is asked of them is not unheard of. These stories have been normalised to the point that most people look the other way when they are spoken of on social media. Or worse, they come in to defend the perpetrator. In many cases, situations have escalated to becoming full blown sexual offences of heinous nature. #MeToo posts have often called out many of these acts, but in most cases, the fire died down eventually.

The High Court’s decision was made in response to a writ case brought by Anshuman Singh Rathore, in which he contested the jurisdiction of the UP Madrasa Board and objected to the management of Madrasa by the Minority Welfare Department, as well as other related matters, by the State and Union governments. Over 16000 recognised and 8,000 unrecognised madrassas were uncertain due to the Allahabad High Court’s verdict that a crucial act controlling madrassas is unlawful, which could harm the better functioning of Madrasas. The future of almost 10,000 madrasa teachers and over 26 lakh students was uncertain due to the verdict, according to those impacted by it. The madrassas were expected to close following the court’s decision.
