SAFETY OF WOMEN
IN METROPOLITAN
CITIES
In India even in the 21st century, women cannot step
out of their house 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 in social activities. Even today in India,
women can’t move at night in secluded places and
even at daytime at crowded places. Hundreds and
thousands of incidents of physical / sexual abuse and
culturally justified violence happens every day to
women in this country.
Rape is the fastest growing crime in the country today
and as many as 18 women are assaulted in some form
or the other every hour across India. Over the last few
months cases of rapes and assault have made it to the
headlines with alarming frequency. Mumbai watched
with shame as an ugly mob attacked women on New
Year’s Eve. In Latur a 14 year old was raped and killed
by four young men. In Konark four men were charged
with dragging a woman out of a bus and gang raping
her. It is an ordeal simply to file a police report and the
investigations thereafter have been stories of apathy
and down right humiliation meted out to the victims.
Where convicted, punishments have ranged from
capital punishments to a day in jail.
.
Equally horrific are news reports of foreign
tourists being sexually assaulted. An American was
molested in Pushkar, a British journalist raped in
Goa, Canadian girls attacked in Kumarakom to list
the few instances. It looks like that India as a
nation has ceased to know how to treat women as
human beings who have a right to dignity and
safety. The crime against tourists is against our
culture of “atithi devo bhava’ Government has
decided to meet and discuss with the state
government the safety of women tourists as a
reaction from the fear that such incidents will
impact India’s image.
Despite the trauma women across all classes are
reporting crimes such as rape and assault and do not
feel helpless or abandoned by family or society as was
the prevalent case before. Society is changing and
government is forced to take action as it has run out
of excuses such as society’s mindset or class divide.
This is the story not only in India but in most of the
other countries as well. Now we the women are the
agents of change. Lets not remain silent. Lets not give
up. Every woman who is silent is with a voice unheard.
So please speak out. And that will bring the change.
Bring an end to this bloodshed and humiliations.
We will never live just for the sake of living as
mere survivors. But as real winners of this world.
We are born to live, live in peace, live in unity,
live in justice and make lives.
If you want something you never had, do
something you have never 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 …….
