Couldn't be worse. A minor girl of 12 was raped in a school in Kanpur. The complaint was filed by the girl's mother when she heard about her daughter being dropped at home by 2 maids from the school.

It urges me to think how safe our educational institutions are. Parents send their children to school so that they come out as better and successful human beings. But how would that mother be feeling when she saw the dead body of her little child. Who should be blamed? Is it only the rapist? We've always been taught that a person who supports the wrong doer is equally wrong. By that theory, the principal,staff and other teachers should be arrested, but unfortunately no arrests have been made.
This isn't the first and last case of the type. Many school girls who haven't even attained puberty have been raped. The families bury the case as its a matter of shame for them. Many such cases don't come to light even after repeated complaints at the police station. I beg to ask that if such a case happens with a daughter or sister of a family who has 'Birla', 'Tata' attached to it, then also no arrests would be made? This time we have to give it a thought..

individually rape is a result of some or the other psychological disorder, its mostly about power and dominance instead of just physical pleasure, in the bigger picture our country has to be safer, the authorities need to be on right side, more efficient and dedicated towards their duty.... But the point is imagining a perfect world and what this one needs to get closer to that is easy.... lets talk about things we can do! how we can contribute.. at our own level, remain aware... parents should talk about sex,molestation to their children and teach the how to recognize if something like that is happening and what to do.... THERE HAVE TO BE MANUALS ON HOW CHILDREN HAVE TO BE RAISED AND NOT GRANDMOTHERS PUTTING KAJAL BEHIND THEIR EARS....
ReplyDeleteApart from that
girls!
-carry a pepper spray and/or knife
-have numbers on your phones speed dial
-Be smart
To add to that Manan, there should be more self defense classes for girls in schools or in the community. Learning karate/taekwondo may not be possible for all, but basic moves should be known. Coz the problem with a pepper spray/knife is by the time you take them out of the purse or pocket, the guy has control. And a knife can be snatched away.
