‘HOW TO MAKE WOMEN FEEL SAFE’
By Karan/Karuna
The safety of women in modern society is increasingly becoming a grave concern with each passing day. It is no longer an issue of morals but of the criminalist mentality of a majority of the male sector of our society. Ensuring the security of women can never be possible by restraining them from their houses. It can never be the solution. It is said, that to solve a problem effectively and efficiently, its root needs to be targeted’ and in the same way, we need to put efforts into educating our boys and quite evidently, men as well, to respect the women. Rather than teaching a girl how to live with restrictions, we should teach a boy how to respect and accept the girl’s wishes. This will help to reduce the cause a lot, but in order to eradicate the problem, severe legal measures are needed to be taken.
The criminals should be punished severely and the legal procedures should be shortened. Domestic violence against women should not be tolerated and programs should be set-up to support women suffering in these scenarios. The aggressors in such cases need to be adequately penalized. The women should be trained the basic self-defence at an early age. Besides, taking these measures, special forces need to be posted at all places where crimes against women are more frequent, like tourist sites and secluded places. Special help-line numbers need to be set up and effective and quick aid should be provided to women whenever and wherever required.
