As a thriving country, India is taking huge steps towards becoming a world class- country but the safety of it’s residents especially women remains a concern. According to surveys. India ranks among the top five most “unsafe” places for women in the world. Is it the deep-rooted psyche of a male dominated society; the lack of education and morals or is it the socio-economic diversity or perhaps it is all of them. Where is the respect for women in society? Though we are in the 21st century. Women still are vulnerable to the tortures of men. It seems being born as a woman is a curse in this country. Though there are women leaders in top positions and women police officers, the condition of the ordinary women is grave, crimes against women refuse to reduce and the politicians keep fighting among themselves instead of taking some firm action so that woman feel safe in this country. “It’s not enough to have a law. The implementation needs to be resourced well enough for it to work.” The biggest hope for change lies with future generations. Let’s treat sons and daughters in the same home with equal love and fairness, teach brothers to respect and honour their sister and raise our sons to believe that women are equal to men in all respects. This is a fundamental shift that has the potential to save the next generation of women. This crucial responsibility has been entrusted to the parents of sons. Bring up your girl child with care. Make her self -reliant and give her education as self reliance is power. If you do this your girl-child will respect
you more and will care for you for the rest of your life.
