“WOMEN OF INDIA IS IN
DANGER ZONE”, DO YOU KNOW OR NOT ???
Is India really
unsafe for women?
The answer to this question is yes. Women are definitely
unsafe in India. Being a girl, I too feel that it is not safe for me to go out
alone. If you really think that India is safe then why don’t parents let their
daughters go out alone? Why don’t they like their daughters to study in a
co-educational college? The answer to these questions might not be there in
your mind.
The biggest problem that a girl faces in our country is
eve-teasing. Eve-teasers harass the girls a lot. They sometimes even follow
them while they are going for tuitions, schools, colleges etc. Eve-teasers
first follow them and then try to come close to them. Some girls get so much
disturbed, that they are not able to give their full attention to the work they
are doing.
Another problem that women face in our society is of our
dowry. People demand dowry from their families. Women are tortured, bashed and
sometimes even burnt alive if she is unable to bring dowry. Due to this parents
find daughters a burden on them. They want to get their daughters married at a
young age and don’t even care about the girls education.
Whenever you open a newspaper or switch on the news channel,
they are lots of reports about women being tortured, ill-treated and sometimes
even killed by members of their own family. I strongly feel that somewhat
government is responsible for all this as it is not making proper laws for the
protection of women. Some TV shows have been started for the women to make them
realize the danger they face like CID, Crime Patrol, Gumrah and many more.
Best examples for this is GEETIKA SUICIDE CASE.
But, I sometimes feel
that a woman has to be her own protector. She has to be strong enough to fight
for herself and for her respect in society. Only then can she make India a safe place to live. I think that men must
respect women of their country. If they don’t do so there will be a time when
tourists would think 1000 times before coming to India.
At last I would say everyone thinks about it,
Come, lets join hands, to protect her life . because roles
played by her are very many . As a daughter , mother, sister or wife, but she
is tortured whole of her life. Either by boys or men India is still and still
is unsafe for girls
