Crime Against

Women & Safety

• In India even in the 21st century, women cannot step out of theirhouse at any given time, assured of her physical and sexual safety.Everyday women in this society face more problems than men.The fear of violence and teasing restricts a woman’s anatomy,curtails her mobility and her ability to work and participate insocial activities.

Even today in India, women can’tmove at night in secluded places andeven at daytime at crowded places.Hundreds and thousands of incidentsof physical / sexual abuse andculturally justified violence happensevery day to women in this country.

• Rape is the fastest growing crime in the country today and asmany as 18 women are assaulted in some form or the other everyhour across India. Over the last few months cases of rapes andassault have made it to the headlines with alarming frequency.Mumbai watched with shame as an ugly mob attacked women onNew Year’s Eve. In Latur a 14 year old was raped and killed by fouryoung men..

In Konark four men were charged withdragging a woman out of a bus and gangraping her. It is an ordeal simply to file apolice report and the investigationsthereafter have been stories of apathy anddown right humiliation meted out to thevictims. Where convicted, punishments haveranged from capital punishments to a day injail.

• Equally horrific are news reports of foreign tourists being sexuallyassaulted. An American was molested in Pushkar, a Britishjournalist raped in Goa, Canadian girls attacked in Kumarakom tolist the few instances. It looks like that India as a nation hasceased to know how to treat women as human beings who have aright to dignity and safety.

The crime against tourists is againstour culture of “atithi devo bhava’Government has decided to meetand discuss with the stategovernment the safety of womentourists as a reaction from the fearthat such incidents will impactIndia’s image.

• Despite the trauma women across all classes are reporting crimessuch as rape and assault and do not feel helpless or abandoned byfamily or society as was the prevalent case before. Society ischanging and government is forced to take action as it has run outof excuses such as society’s mindset or class divide.

• This is the story not only in India but in most of the other countriesas well. Now we the women are the agents of change. Lets notremain silent. Lets not give up. Every woman who is silent is with avoice unheard. So please speak out. And that will bring thechange. Bring an end to this bloodshed and humiliations.

• We will never live just for the sake of living as mere survivors. Butas real winners of this world.

• We are born to live, live in peace, live in unity, live in justice andmake lives.

• If you want something you never had, do something you havenever done…..

• Don’t go the way life takes you, Take life the way you go….Remember, You are not living because you are born!!!You are born to live …….
