Lets Put A Full-Stop To Molestation

Undoubtedly, India has male dominating society. From ancient times, women are prey of violence. From dowry to molestation to rape, a woman is always a victim. Every other day cases of molestation, rape, sexual harassment come into knowledge. Such incidents doesn’t only happen in villages, but also in posh cities of India and the shameful part is, people do witnesses the same but doesn’t even dare to help the victim. Would they have reacted the same if the victim was their daughter or sister or anyone related to them?

After such embarrassing events, the question arises that if a girl is being molested, is it her fault? If she is wearing clothes of her own choice, is it her mistake? If she is living the life of her own liberty, then is it a matter that she needs to regret for? If a man can move freely at any time then why not a woman? Is this how 21st century people are expected to think?

In India blaming woman for every violence against her is what hundreds of millions of men are taught to believe. And code for women here is so simple: dress modestly, don’t go out at night,don’t go to parties and clubs, don’t go out alone. And if she dare to break this code then she will be responsible or blamed for the consequences.

Highlight of such cases is that our ministers who inspite of providing security and protection to women passes such nuisance comments. Inspite of much attempt of justice and widespread public protests for nirbhaya, nothing changed till date. Even today so many girls face molestation in public transport and many places.

It is actually a matter of utter shame that molesters and rapists are roaming around freely, no strict action has been taken against them. Its high time that the government should wake up and do something to save the daughters of our country. New policies of Beti bachao, Beti padhao and others are of no use if the daughters of the nation are not safe anywhere.
