This is the question that each and every girl is asking
herself and to the people around her. For the first time in my life, I was
scared to step out of my house. Its because the amount of fear that the recent
case has generated is unimaginable. But the point is whether this is the first
rape case in our country where the victim was traumatised ? ? The answer is No.
Infact, cases like these have become so common, that Delhi
is also called the Crime Capital of India. Then, why are we bothered now ?
Why this sudden Anguish? It’s a common story as, every minute a rape takes place in
India. On top of it, it’s the Girl who is blamed and for what that she was
raped because she is a girl. People come up with solutions that in order to
stop such cases girls should not wear skirts, should not talk to boys, should
not leave the house after 7 pm and the list doesn't ends here. In short, today
in this 21st Century (So called Modern Society ), being a girl can be your biggest mistake. So, What
do we need to change to stop this brutal and inhuman crime ?
The answer is simple, it is we, the people who need to change.
We need to change our mentality. Parents should teach their sons to respect
women. If you can’t respect a girl then, it means you can’t respect your
mother either. The next step should be that Eve Teasing should be completely
banned. Boys take a pride in teasing girls and passing comments which should be
reported instead of ignoring them. Fast Action against the culprits could also instil a fear among the people.
These are just some of the things that we can take to stop this
heinous crime. So, Guys, start respecting women. We are equal to you and not below
you.
