It is an accepted fact that brutal crimes against women are occurring in India daily. Now many Indians do not deny, or shy away from conversations relating to eve-teasing, sexual assaults or rape.
Even the common man's conversation on the streets often steer towards the escalated and horrendous attacks on women.
An overbearing concern each of us has towards the women in our families has lent a sense of urgency to our dialogue on the critical and pressing issue of women's safety.
Jaagore recently threw this question open to our audiences.
What should women do in the wake of continuous attacks on women?
We asked them one piece of advice they would give to women to be safe in their cities.
Many women, and even a larger number of men participated in this survey.
Many replies predictably lay restrictions on women. Let's take a look at some of them:

Many replies predictably lay restrictions on women. Let's take a look at some of them:
For a long time, we have been asking our women to "cover themselves up", to "stay in their limits" or "ignore" cases of harassment. It's now reached a tipping point and these age-old methods are proving to be ineffective.
An important point to remember is that many assaults on women are rooted in power play. Experts have often stated that all acts of aggression towards women are tools to assert power over a woman, be it rape, molestation or even 'eve-teasing'.
It makes sense then, to take that power back, instead of validating and legitimizing violence by towing the line and "staying within a limit". Is it really practical to 'look down when you walk', 'stay home after dark' or always be 'covered from head to toe'?
Then there were other practical and thoughtful words of advice that can actually make sense and can be imbibed.
