Women Safety is an important issue for India. May be this slide will help you to know about some issue and challenges.

1. SAFETY OF
WOMEN
IN
METROPOLITAN
CITIES

2.  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.

3.  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.
.

4.  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.

5.  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.

6.  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 …….
