Women, here, till the recent times, are habituated to be second in priorities, to say the least. They have this thing of suffering a lot but never opening their mouths, keeping in mind the reputation of their families.
But it is shameful that if a rape occurs, the reputation of the family of the victim is broken down, the girl will be seen as an untouchable and she has to undergo terrible mental turmoil, as almost everyone in the society makes her and her family feel that she did a horrible blunder of getting raped. Whats worse is that, in some cases, she and her family literally becomes orphaned in the society with no one to talk to and no one to support them.
What about the Rapist? Huh! I dont know what happens legally and I m not even sure if he gets the right punishment. But in the society, forget the anger, in some cases, people even support him. He can easily turn tables if he is influenctial enough. He is capable of making the 'Law'fully Incorrect to 'Political'ly Correct.
I am not saying this is the case in all incidents. Humanity is still alive with many NGOs and Government Laws supporting the victims now. We are witnessing the changing scenario of the rapist's family abandoning him too. That is a welcome change for the society.
So Apart from Strict Laws and Stringent Punishments, what should be done that is as necessary?
My Answer is, CHANGE YOUR MINDSET. Yes, you heard me right!
Change your mindset, where you will support the victim, not the rapist.
Change your mindset, where you will make sure the rapist gets the deserved punishment, even if he is kin-related to you.
Change your mindset, do NOT Spoil the Life of a Woman for your greed and lust.
Change your mindset, even if the woman irritates you so much, Raping/Sexually Abusing is not the answer.
Change your mindset, think twice if you do the same to fulfill your lust, to your own mother and sister.
Change your mindset, forcing someone sexually doesnt make you a Hero.
Change your mindset, Women, you need not be silent and suffering all the abuse.
Change your mindset, Women, Stand Up and RAISE YOUR VOICE!
Why do we tell women to be careful not to get raped. Why don't we tell men NOT to rape? There is nothing wrong in telling the women, to be careful and cautious. But, in the same manner, tell the men, how to respect women and how to keep control of their greed and be a gentleman. It is important too.
And now, are you wondering about the result of my battle? Both my heart and head came to a compromise, the Optimism. The Optimism of believing that the society will change its mindset for good, evoke social bonding in people for this sacred cause of bringing back the Respect of Women and giving them a Safe and Secured World where they can fly with their wings of freedom, with their roots firmly set in the ground!
