Women Safety - Need of the hour
INDIA- a sacred land; a home to people
of varied culture, tradition and customs since era.
Despite the difference in languages and
practices, the thread of unity is strengthened by the sense of brotherhood and
respect. The flavor of respect is more revealed by crowning of Women as an
integral and vital part of the society.
In 21st century, when the nation
has achieved zenith’s height of success in every challenging sphere, the spine
(woman) of the system has left no stone unturned to stand at par with the
masculine gender.
But Alas!!! the attitude towards the
female figure in the society has shown a descending graph with rigorous loss in
ethical and moral values. The desire and eagerness to fly and conquer the sky
has now been converted to a sense of fear and panic.
The society that ones used to nurture
and encourage women is now alarmed by the concept of safety at home & workplace.
The reasons that form the base of the
present pathetic condition include the unhealthy working environment,
eve-teasing, unrestricted open alcohol consumption, addiction and overall the
negative interpretation of western culture. The loopholes in the existing law
at times worsen the situation and encourage the criminals.
Women safety is not only a concern for
country specific. It is a mess that exist in every nation either superpower or
developing economies.
Although women shares 50% of the total
population, is still subjected to sexual harassment, acid attack, domestic
violence, female foeticide. Every passing day, any women figure is assaulted
and trapped in the hunter’s net in any sphere of the society that acts as an
hindrance to the overall healthy development of a country.
The incidents at metro cities are
frequently reported whereas some goes away unnoticed. We shout aloud the causes
and penalties but its high time that we all (men & women) take a baby step
forward to eradicate this issue from roots.
The pivotal step starts at home when the
family appreciates equality and recognizes the importance of girl child. The
basic idea of education, health, hygiene, self-defense should be incorporated among
teenage girls and adult women that can keep them updated and aware.
The legal protection laws must be
strictly enacted to deal the criminals tactfully so that the offenders give a
second thought for indulging in any unlawful activities. More NGOs and
Self-Help groups should evolve at every corner of the society to discuss and
resolve the problems faced by women at home or workplace at regular intervals.
The entire society needs a comprehensive
change in the mindset to address any girl of any age they pass by and firmly
lock the grey matter with the thought that female figures of different stage do
belong to their own family.
Not to forget, there are examples of men
who try every bit to protect and help women in need; those who cross their
paths.
Let the spirituality and calmness in
Indian culture continue with the remoulding of intoxicated society to make the
place safe and fit for Women. The divine breeze of freshness should blow and
wipe away the filthy issues to continue the ascending graph of a nation without
any sag or pitfalls so that India holds a key position in the eyes of the world.
Let’s
set as an example of “Women Empowerment”.
Please
suggest what else can be done to strengthen our both arms (men and women) together
and move toward a harmonious environment.

Even a government should take severe against the man who exploit women.
ReplyDeleteActually the main problem is what whose who do these wrong things like rape, acid attack etc are having some kind of political support.
In such case whether a person who is not adult should be punished as a criminal and all the suitable charges should be applicable at him also.
very nicely expressed in words,,, the true fact of today's world..
