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 …….
