Some thoughts -
"Safety" is being discussed along length n breadth of this country. Lot of parameters are to be taken into account while debating/discussing/answering issues.
The very first point being the physicality of two species on this earth. Men n Women. Women are physically,incomparable to men (generic sense). So, the very act of rape can be/merely is a domination of one species over another. This upholds the physical inequality.
Other point is, act of rape/physical harassment happens when culprit is ill-educated. Government, NGOs & other institutions are helping people in educating. But surely it has not made much mark as of now.Education has surely taken a backseat in our country n progressing at tortoise speed. But, the very point that all are discussing these issues & creating lot of chaos is an example of evolution. Yes, it has begun. It may take generations though.
Another important point here is credibility of our judicial system. Judicial reforms are need of the hour. People take our judiciary for granted. Govt. is in no serious mood to amend certain acts. This gives way for men to indulge into such acts.
Yet another Interesting point is, prostitution. Everything happens and everyone sees and still is termed "ILLEGAL". How sad that !!. I am all in for making it legal. It may look very lame solution, but my perception is it can reduce significant number of such acts.
Education,Inequality,Judiciary,Govt and many such factors need to reviewed when it comes to curbing such heinous crimes. Its time not to look back but be blunt and decisive. More importantly,we need to understand that each one of us has huge role in bringing system n society to what it deserves.
Keep spreading love,
