Answer:

Women safety has to be our priority. It’s important for everyone - from the government to corporates and individuals – to join hands to make India a safer place for women to work and live.

In Kerala, millions of women stood in solidarity for gender equality forming a “women’s wall” stretching from the North to the South. This was in reaction to religious conservatives who have been opposing the Supreme Court verdict that allowed the entry of menstruating women in the Lord Ayyappa temple at Sabarimala.



Such a powerful gesture is heartening given that only a few days ago a 15 year old girl in Agra succumbed to her injuries sustained from being set alight by a couple of men on motorcycles. Whilst in Telangana, a 22 year old woman was killed by her parents for marrying a man outside of her caste.  

If you search the internet, there are many such stories happening in different parts of India where women - young and old - are being killed for just being. In exercising their agency, they run the risk of being harassed and even killed.

As I reflect on the year 2018, I have mixed feelings. On one hand, there were many wins like the #MeToo movement gaining traction in India and abroad where several powerful men lost their jobs or were forced to resign. It was also a year that saw an unprecedented number of women leaders being elected into office in the US, and many women voters showing up in the US and India to vote corrupt and inept governments out of power.

On the other hand, it seems like we have a lot of work to do. Heads of government, from Donald Trump to Yogi Adityanath, continue to objectify and demean women, relegating them to second-class citizenry.

This cannot continue if we want to live in a happy and inclusive world. We cannot and must not encourage a situation where 50 percent of the population still lives in fear and does not have the same privileges as their male counterparts.

Since it is that time of the year where we reflect on our achievements in the past year and make plans for the New Year, I have some suggestions on how every person and institution can be the driver of change when it comes to the safety of women.

Women safety:what can you and I do?

Every citizen needs to decide and affirmatively agree that each person has the right to be safe. Our constitution states that every single person is equal before the law. So why should it not be reflected in practice? Women and girls must be allowed to access education, healthcare, choice of career, choice of marriage partner, or the right to stay single. They should not be punished for their choice of garments, friends, or leisure activities. In short, they must be given respect and be allowed to exercise their rights.

Education in this regard is the need of the hour to dispel taboos around the issue, and also help men in the country understand about respect, boundaries, and consent so that they do not violate women’s rights. As individuals, each of us can respect one another; let us be active bystanders where we prevent sexual violence and intervene when we see it happening and - most importantly – do not perpetrate it.
