The women are being made victims not only for one reason but there are multiple reasons of their victimization. The main ones are sexual harassment , obscence comments, insecurity for the working women, threatenings to some of the women working in senior management posts, bitter challenges and non cooperation from men to the women in many fields. For example, lack of support from male community to manage affairs, rapes, gang rapes, cases of molestation, dowry deaths, compulsion to commit suicide, humiliation by not being given equal opportunities, partically and unfair treatment towards working women by male supervisors and so on constitute a situation which poses a great challenge to women.
During olden days the education of girls was neglected, importance was given only to the boys in education and subsequently in jobs. Women were asked to look after home. Due to change in society and in the mentality of the people, the girls started getting equal opportunities to get education and work outside to maintain economic needs and self sufficiency. But from the very beginning women entered the public space, violence against them started increasing. The rate of victimization in respect of women is greater in urban areas as their activities in public places are greater there. Their fashion and style of wearing clothes make them more unsafe and risky.
This will continue till the sensibility is developed amongest men to look beyond their beauty, fashion and other releted things. Though in a democratic country every women is free for any wears and to enjoy fashion as she desires but she is not secured enough to enjoy it freely. There are cases where they are made victims of men. This can be reduced by introducing law to award deterrent punishment to the offenders there by killing the wolf in them and setting examples for others. There are only a few who humiliate the women. Women are harassed in many public places too, may it be hotels, railway stations, schools, colleges or on the roads. Women feel insecure in such places and will continue to be so unless the mechanism for protection of basic human rights is made effective by providing adequate civic securities.
I am optimistic that Government will take necessary steps to get the adequate law framed and arrange for protection of women out of the gender-based humiliation. There are instances where some criminals are involved in rape cases, molestation and other unhealthy activities outside their homes, whereasa back home they play double standards with their wives. The relations ultimately are victimized. The electronic and print media, volunteers, NGOs, social workers, school and college students and intellectuals can play a key role in educating people to change their mindset and induce a healthier attitude and prigressive thinking by realizing deeply about this genuine problem in the society.
