There have been growing instances of rape in our beautiful land.A land so beautiful that it doesn't respect a girl child,doesn't nurture her and doesn't protect her.Its too horrible to describe a rape scene.Much has been said about the subject and as is always the case,no actions have been taken regarding it. Rapists move like bravery award winners, glaring at the high and mighty.That sense of fear,one which makes us humans, is sadly, missing in them.
Let's admit it.Life isn't easy for the women folk in the country.They are ridiculed for wearing short clothes while boys can wear that freely,they are forbidden from going out in the night while boys can go and they are considered 'ideal' if they remain confined to the four walls of the house.The thing called 'gender-equality' exists only on paper.They are stared at while they work,people create visual images of them and start raping them in their minds. The masculinity oozes out,albeit,in the wrong directions.The horrifying shame that follows a rape victim is even more shocking,police folks treat her as a rag to be thrown around, the society shuns her as if its a dust that will damage their clean persona and even the family members turn against her. I ask, what is her fault in all this?? Can't she go out by walking on the legs that god has given her? Can't she watch a movie or work in the office? Can't she play her favourite sport? Can't she just live her dream?
Many a times, the heart does give up. Just because no one supported it and pulled it out of misery. The mindset change is just a little thing. We need a whole societal change.Engaging in debates leading to confusing solutions isn't the way to move forward,we need action points to help our awesome women-folk.Their lives are a blessing for all of us, let's help them to regain their place in the society.

Violation of individual boundary in anyway should be portrayed as a moral crime , which eventually it is anyways, once humans in general refrain from crossing the individual boundary things like rape will be found in history books only.
No-one has right to cross anyone's personal boundary full stop.
What about all such cases where sex, first happens with consent and then later because of breach of faith or promise there's a cry of rape?
All such cases, can neither be pinned up on boy or a girl. Such rapes have a mutuality. Hence, 'both' need to be flogged publicly.
@Eternalme: True,but the personal boundary is set by an individual only right which is dictated by the power of his mind.Will changing that help?
Is it a coincidence that fashion shows are termed as female 'empowerment'/ 'liberty' and these same fashion shows serve as feeder to playboy magazine and huge porn industry. How empowering?! :)
The need of the hour is the segregation of societies and capital punishment. To make a system where genders do not mix freely.
You either flirt with the sexual beast or feel safe within a segregated Islamic state. There's no exception about it.
To ask why men get exited when they see women in short clothes, it is like asking why men are afraid on seeing snake? It's nature/instinct/ biology. Simple.
human being which sets u apart from animals. You have a mind
which you are supposed to steer according to your will."
Then why not MNC's allow bikini in office? Are they being narrow minded. :)
