1. WOMEN’S SAFETY
Are women safe in INDIA ?
1

2. Women are at risk of violence both
in public and private spheres, in and around
the home, in neighbourhoods. Women
think twice before stepping out of their
homes, especially at the night. This is,
unfortunately, the sad reality of our
country that lives in constant fear.

3. Women’s safety involves strategies, practices
and policies which aim to reduce gender-based violence
(or violence against women), including women’s fear of
crime.
• Women’s safety involves safe spaces.
• Women’s safety involves financial security and
autonomy
• Women’s safety involves self-worth.
• Women’s safety means a safer, healthier community
for everyone.

10. If you happen to be harassed, will you file a
complaint against the perpetrator or not? If not why?
• “I will not because when I think practically no one out there will help me except
myself and my parent. Considering me and my family’s future. I can’t complain”. (60%
people agree with this kind of answer)
• “I'd surely file a complaint against the perpetrators because I think they totally
deserve to be punished and women should be bold enough to stand against them.”
(40% people agree with this kind of answer)

11. No one talks about men's safety, but we always speak
about women's safety. Why? Explain your view to this
point.
Some of the comments we got are
• There are more men harasser than women.
• Because women's safety is prioritized due to the increase in violence towards them
which clouds the fact that men faces harassment too and even if men steps forward to
confess about their traumatic events happened , society criticizes instead of believing
them ,as it is firmly stereotyped that men are the predator

12. What are the factors that lead to increase in human
trafficking, especially when it comes to females?
Few factors like
• organ demand in foreign countries
• poverty among orphans
• demand for cheap labour
• the urge to fullfill their sexual pleasure.
Are the reason that leads to increased human trafficking, especially when it comes to
women.

13. People who thinks raising a women is burden, tend
to practice female infanticide, what is your view on
this issue.
• If financial status is a problem then abortion of both male and female children can be practised, but
targeting more on female is a total nonsense. For raising a child either a boy or a girl take the
same amount of money to invest on.
• Nowadays women's are the one who backup the whole family than men
• Girls are often considered a financial burden. Educating them is not deemed necessary and their
opinions don’t matter. This is one of the major reasons for preferring a son over a daughter. We
need to change such narrow mindsets of people. This will help in empowering females.
• Insecure people who are not brave enough to raise a child should prefer to be anti-natalist rather
than killing their infants so ease

14. How parents see eve-teasing ?
• In general Eve teasing is an act of slut shaming and stalking. Parents who are aware of this
stuffs will defend the girls , and the parents who are into the patriarchy and male dominance
will slut shame the girls by labelling it as taboo, as a matter of fact slut shaming doesn't looks
taboo to the elders.
• Some consider eve teasing is not about men ,but it is about girl child. If eve teasing happens to
any of their daughter they will immediately stop her from wearing fancy clothes, stop her from
going out and all, but no one will say the fact that eve teasing is because of men.

15. Do you prefer to be a MAN or WOMAN? Why?
Few comments we received are:
• “I prefer to be a man because men can wander everywhere even in night time and they got
freedom to study or do stuffs on their own and there is no pressure to get married at an early age
after completing the college.”
• “We women just need freedom to live in this society. It doesn't matter whether we are man or
women both have their own potentials.”
• “HUMAN. There will be always victims in both the genders , perverts in both, misusing the
freedom in both , abusers in both , predators in both.”

16. What is your take on women harassment at
workplace?
• A few of the people said that even though they haven’t been to
any workplace, from the kind of incidents they heard of from the
people close to them, such kind of harassments ended up in the
victim blaming and the management wasn’t supportive to the
victim in most of the cases.
• Another one said that harassment happens not only at the
workplace, but also at every possible place where women could
be harassed.
• A solution to such kind of problems could be the initiative of a
movement like #metoo. The drawback of #metoo was that the
identity of the victim was exposed which led to the affected job
security of the victim.

17. What do you think about creating curfew for
women?
• One of the responses was that we should rather be working
on creating a safer environment for women rather than
increasing and decreasing curfew which is protecting women.
• In case of hostels, the hostel rules are stricter for girls than
boys. This is not considered to be fair because both have
equal rights that of to enjoy their freedom. Being in a
democratic country, having unequal rights to freedom for
men and women is totally unfair.
17

18. “Dressing sense of women is one of the major
causes for why they are being sexually assaulted”-
What is your thoughts on this?
• People think that this is totally a bad perspective because a
women’s dressing sense has no relevance with them being
raped.
• They are like inversely proportional and no one tells a man how
to dress.
• It is always WOMEN who is pushed into the hole and I still don’t
understand why women are being judged based on their
dressing sense and this is something that has to be changed.
18

19. What do you think about parents being overprotective of their
girl children make the world a better place for women?
• Everyone of them said that they don’t think so. In fact, such kind of
impositions are done usually by the mothers in most of the
household.
• They don’t mind if their sons come late to home after a party but it
would lead to a problem if their daughters come late to their home.
• This cycle of showing differentiation to their children itself is a bigger
problem.
19

20. What is feminism according to you?
• Its making equal rights for both men and women in the society.
Only fake feminists say that women would also want to drink,
party hard and do all the stuff that men do.
• Sometimes, women make use of such kind of freedom as a
leverage and try bullying people by accusing them of eve-
teasing or harassment which is totally unfair.
• People who are under such situations have to really be careful
of what they do. For they being victimized has some amount of
trust by the people that they wouldn’t misuse them for their
own personal vengeance.

21. “Women will only have
true equality when men
share with them the
responsibility of bringing
up the next generation.”
- Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
LET THE CHANGE
BEGIN..!!
