The Future is Feminist!

Safety of Women in India has become major issue now. crime rates against women in the country have only risen to a great extent. Women think twice before stepping out of their homes, especially at the night. This unfortunately is the sad reality of our country that lives in constant fear.

Women in India have been given equal rights as men; however, people do not follow this rule. They contribute to the growth and development of our country; still, they are living in fear. Women are now on respected parameters in the country, but if we take a look behind the curtains, It has been always seen that they are being exploited. Each day we read about horrific crimes being committed against women in our country like it’s a norm.

Crimes against Women in India

Not a day goes by where you don’t hear of the news of a crime against women in India. In fact, daily there are at least five news articles that tell us about the horrific incidences of the various crimes. It is very painful to watch the status of women’s safety in India, especially in a country where women are given the stature of goddesses.

The list of crimes against women is quite long, to say the least. Acid attack is becoming a very normal crime in various parts of the country. The criminal throws acid on the face of the victim to destroy them completely both physically and mentally. Nonetheless, India has a lot of strong acid attack survivors who are battling for their lives and trying to lead their lives independently.

Ways to Ensure Women Safety

Although the list of crimes is very long, we can take measures to ensure women’s safety in our country. Firstly, the government must make stringent laws that ensure the punishment of criminals immediately. Fast track courts must be set so the victim should get justice instantly. This will serve as a great example for other men to not commit crimes against women.

Most importantly, men must be taught to respect women from an early age. They must consider women as equals so they don’t even think of harming them. When you consider someone inferior, you tend to oppress them. If this thinking fades away, half of the crimes will automatically end in the world.
