BTS ARMY raises over Rs. 1 lakh for J-Hope & Suga's birthday fundraiser; donate money to NGO supporting sexual harassment survivours

Rappers-songwriters-producers J-Hope and Suga celebrated their birthdays on 18th February and 9th March, respectively. For their birthday fundraiser, their Indian fanclub (bangtan_india) organised a fundraiser 'No Means No' to support an NGO Majlis and donated the money to support the women survivors of sexual harassment.

In the last one year, the harassment towards women has increased tremendously and have been highlighted in the media in India. As the fandom stepped forward for an important cause, the donations came from across the nation. The amount raised from the fundraiser was Rs. 1,02,200.

Majlis started in 1991 as a response to a growing need for lawyers with a gender perspective who are dedicated to evolving innovative legal practices to defend women’s rights. Headed by Adv. Flavia Agnes we are an all women team comprising of lawyers and social activists. Their agenda for social change is – quality legal representation for individual women in court, changing mindsets through advocacy and training and evolving gender just ideology through campaigns and interventions. Their vision is to help women across class and community access justice by creating a culture of rights.

Last year, Suga donated 100 million won to Hope Bridge to support those affected due to Coronavirus pandemic in Daegu, South Korea which is his home town. On his birthday this year, J-Hope donated 150 million won to ChildFund Korea to support children with disabilities. In August 2020,  J-Hope donated 100 million won to a local charity in South Korea. He wanted to help the children who are suffering from financial difficulties amid the COVID-19 crisis.
