I live in a country which constitutes 50% women. A country which has seen fame, sacrifices, wins and power by lot of women. But it is really sad to know that it is still a MAN dominating world, out here in India... I do not know whether the change will come or if it will ever come at all..
However...
On FB,Twitter etc..everybody is saying "RIP Nirbhaya,""RIP Amannat"....
My questions is to each one of you is.... How can we think so??? How can this gal be RIP when her all the culprits are still "alive"? After reading the truth shared by a correspondent on FB - I feel Capital punishmnet is nothing for them.....
Again I as a woman of this country, I feel if we really want Nirbhaya to RIP, we should not rest until India is a safer place for woman.
To start with, we as women should do soemthing on our own to combat this.
I am sharing some ways with which we can do something to save ourselves.
What can be done?:
Safety at home: Never open the door to strangers when alone. Always ask for identity of the person standing at door.
Safety on Phone: Never entertain missed calls and unknown numbers. If you are getting multiple calls from an unknown number, ask a male voice to sternly warn off the caller, else report to police.
Safety on the road: Always carry pepper spray. Where to get it?: At the neighborhood Health & Glow
Safety on the move: At the tap of a button on your smartphone, you can send an SOS alert to a set list of friends & relatives about your whereabouts. Apps like 'Circleof6' & 'On Watch' can do this.
Safety in cyberspace: On social n/wing websites, never add starngers. Also, when communicating on-line, use a nickname and always keep your personal information confidential.
I know this might not serve the problem entirely. But like charity begins at home, we need to make a start in ourselves & to bring a change, every woman out there need to save herself first as every gal is important!!
I will keep adding more measures as & when i get gud ideas till den....
Be aware, Be strong & more importantly be Nirbhaya!!!!
