Let there be no injustice to women anymore

 

We speak of women empowerment. But how far is it true in this current scenario? Let me take the case of sexual assault. It is happening for several years and when we think that nothing of this sort will ever emerge, unfortunately, some such horrendous incidents crop up. We ask for justice and pray for the best too. But do our sincere wishes of rape completely being wiped away fructify?

Not just another life lost

Though researching on the motive of the stone-hearted people who sexually assault children/girls/woman is another topic by itself, it should be etched deeply in the minds of every human that rape is the most barbaric act.

It is not just another life that has succumbed to this brutal act. Instead of blaming the .victim for her lack of presence of mind and other reasons in stopping the tragedy, let us develop compassion. Strict laws and safer public avenues for women while going out should be given priority.

The need of the hour

The urgent necessity is prevention and self-defense. The women of India should be strong enough in standing for the cause. Her mind, her physique, and her voice should be alert enough to understand the looming danger of rape.

Support the cause of survivors

The barbaric rapes of minor girls and young women are definitely not a norm just because they are committed on a regular basis, say for example, in Hathras village. Several cases go unnoticed; some cases come to our attention only when they have reached a stage where it needs to come to limelight. Let us support the cause of those who have survived rapes.

Universal empathy-the essential mantra

We write great things about women in stories and carve beautiful sculptures of her, but when it comes to reality we fail to safeguard her. Universal empathy is the new mantra now and everyone should follow it. Let us treat every girl as the incarnation of goddesses who have grace in her, not born to just succumb to the heinous act of rape by a person who has that arrogance to think that mankind, and especially himself, is God’s best gift to humanity.
