I personally believe this is one of the topics/issues which is less addressed or not at all address as far as the root cause of the problem is concerned; I seriously do not understand why are we still stuck in petrochemical mind set and not giving women equal opportunity.
gentlemen and ladies; today with this blog we will discuss the simple solutions to pluck the crimes against women from root. In our Indian society the patriarchy is so deeply ingrained and most of the population still think men are meant for outside work and women are often considered as fragile and limited to household works. By this, there is increased exploitation and crime against women. There are many flaws in our society/country, such as slow judiciary, seedless security and poor infrastructure which multiply the possibility of misbehavior to happen. Solving these multipliers will not prevent crimes to happen until and unless we address the root of the problem.
There are 3 root solutions by addressing which we can prevent crime against women to happen.
1)Women empowerment:
I consider this is the root solution to many problems including women safety and gender inequality in India. Even though we see women in every field including parliament, administration and even in defense but as far as number is considered, we are not there at 50%. we still lack behind giving equal opportunity and adequate education to girls. I believe if we make these needful, women safety and gender equality are just byproducts of that.
2)Bringing change in mentality of the society:
As I mentioned earlier we, Indians are still stuck in petrochemical social thoughts, By which disrespect towards women is still lurking in the thoughts of people. To solve this we need to change the mentality of the society from young age. Its right time to teach our children to respect each other, especially to boys to respect little ladies around them. :-) By which we ingrain values such as equality, respect and gratitude etc.
3) Creating such a supportive environment:
We need to create such a supportive environment or work space where no one wither its a male, female or 3rd gender person should not hesitate from speaking up about crime against them or bad phase that they had gone through.
Bottom line:
My only concern is, why do we need one of the Nirbhaya, Unnao or recent Hatras case to happen to speak about the major problem? Why can't we start talking/discussing about solutions? why cant we start educating the society from grass root level? I mean the daily exploitation, domestic violence and work-space embarrassments occur on daily basis. why our eye are shut towards it?
Think over it! thanks!
