Women’s Day: Safety Still Remains Biggest Concern
For decades, the subject of Women Empowerment has been a burning issue all
over the world including India. In an attempt to provide voices to the formerly
voiceless, such movements in India have delved a lot deeper into the socio-
political and economic condition of the fair sex. While some of these movements
conclude with a sheer financial independence of many women in the country, the
others end up with no such significant results. But in every phases, the female
empowerment has evolved with a new ray of hope and, obviously with a
renewed spark of confidence.
But, in spite of all those legislative measures and progressive movements, the
safety of women is still at stake in India. Behind the bright city lights, the
apparently developing country, India is plagued with the threats of rapes, female
foeticide, abusive marriage, and most importantly gender inequality. Considering
from this perspective, what strikes our mind is how safe are women in India? Are
they really being equally treated in all spheres of life? Are they allowed to
express their true feminine urges?
Keeping all the current concerns in mind, we resort to digital media to gauge into
what 21st century India thinks about the safety of woman? Are they relying on
the government laws to get rid of the socio-political and economical coercion?
Or, they still prefer to revel under the shroud of superstition. And, the response
we got is pleasantly surprising as it clearly shows that Indian populace has come
off the age. And the so-called superstitions, both in the social and political front
do not have much of its influence on the digital India.

The Take Away Points:
1.The Government Should Take the Responsibility: Regarding the female
foeticide, most of the people in India are looking to the Government's intervention.
They believe only strict legislative enforcement will curb such heinous acts
2. Strict Laws Should Be Enacted to Stop Child Trafficking: Again, the digital
India relies mostly on the legislative measures, because without that, no country will
be able to restrict the crime.
3. Empowerment vs. Safety: At present, the Indian populace is more inclined to
get safety instead of empowerment. After all, no one is empowered enough unless
they are safe.
4. Women’s Day Celebration is Symbolic: With the growing threats of female
foeticide and rapes, the larger population of India believes that celebration of Women’s
Day is nothing but outright symbolic. And it carries no gravity, considering the
present scenario.
