More toilets please In Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar, lack of toilets in
homes exposes women to humiliation and sexual violence. Public sanitation
and government support for building toilets would go a long way in
addressing this problem.
Difficulty Level: 4
24x7 Cities Imagine what would happen if shopping malls, cinema
halls and restaurants stayed open through the night instead of
shuttering down by midnight. The streets would be lit and alive all
night and would truly never be empty. Safer streets, right?
Difficulty Level: 5
More cops, smarter cops Hire more cops. Hire more women in
the police force. Also, ensure they are ever vigilant, that they are

female authority and women should feel safer.

public or private.

What Men Should Do Let's admit it: most men Indian men,
especially are sexists. And rape, or any sexual assault, is a

patriarchal mindset. Start doing what you disparage as
"womanly" chores. Small steps, but start NOW.
9. Difficulty Level: 9
Tougher laws In India, rape has been defined so narrowly that it
excludes forced oral sex, or sodomy, or penetration by foreign
objects. The government will have to include such crimes under
the definition of rape. And there should be harsher punishment
for rapists.
