Protests may help the gang rape victim this time and the people who came forward to support her show that there is hope.
Hope? Wait? A 3 years old girl was raped in her playschool by the owner's husband. Should we go for another protest? Some may go for it and some may give a tired response "Nothing can happen".
We will not go anywhere with a short term vision. Government and Police can do only so much and make laws to a certain limit. Who knew that something could happen in a trusted Playschool?
Something one can do individually is to keep talking about this, envisioning and practicing respect for women and equal rights.
I don't have a scientific fact here but our men, most of our men are going through an internal crisis. Crisis of identity and expression. They need help.
We can not just rant and move on. We have to face the truth and solve it. It may take our lifetimes but our efforts will only make the world a more equal and safe space.
Having supported the long term solution, i am not asking you to stop making immediate efforts to curb such issues. If the objective is clear then we need to raise our voice immediately. Like the Acid Attack Problem that we are facing today. The objective is to get the law passed which promises imprisonment, fine and compensation. Many girls are in need for this solution.
We have to channelize our energies in an informed direction and only then we will stop using the line " Nothing can happen".
Lets talk !
