Not a day passes without any rape
news happening across the country and Delhi
proving to be the rape capital of the country .The PM, the President and the
leaders of the ruling party and the opposition parties expressed shock and concern over the raping of
five year old Delhi
girl child .. But what is the use of their reaction when rape incidents happen
unabated in spite of the recent , "anti-rape law" which has put in
place a slew of new provisions and tougher punishments? The recent rape
reports proves the point that the solution to sexual assault on women can not be
solved by laws alone. Laws have been
ineffective in the face of a patriarchal culture. A combination of several
measures have to attempted urgently, if we are really ashamed of the poll result of 370 gender specialists around
the world that voted ,India ,as the worst place for women among all the G20 countries . What is the use of
death sentence, sacking of the police commissioner of Delhi or advising girls to be careful in
several matters? These incidents mostly
happen within homes . It is the mind set of boys and men that has to undergo
drastic change . the responsibility for
this lies on parents , teachers and film makers . It is true it will take a
longer time. But better late than never . Till then the quick solution is
sensitising the lower lever police personnel who are slow in filing FIR and
speedy justice system . More over , the sexual assault crimes must be declared
as non bailable offence.
