Sir,

Subject: Safety of women

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of all the well learned citizens of the nation towards the increasing incidents of eve-teasing in our Indian society. Whether it is a small girl or an aged lady or a college or office going woman, such incidents are creating great sense of fear in the minds of all.

We do talk about women empowerment on a regular basis and ask everyone citizen of this nation to be a part of it. But, unfortunately, even after repetitive gender sensitisation campaigns, the people are not learning. Woman is still considered the second gender in the society. We forget to realise that this second gender make up the half of the population of the nation, and they will feel unsafe in the society, it would not take much time for the society to lose its existence.

India is now developing with a rapid pace and so should its society develop. The fight for women safety is not a fight of an individual or of a particular gender, but is the fight of all the humans as if the society fails to serve half of its population, its end would not be too far.

Yours truly,
Amna
