Delhi.

Delhi:

I woke up at 6 O'clock in morning and there were mails and comments of  birthday wishes and I was well prepared for the some sort of mild celebration. But there were also the news of 23 year's Nirbhaya's demises were published on the google news who has been brutally gang raped on 16th December 2012.  She has lost her battle for life but she will survives in the heart of citizen of the nation.

It's not the first incident of women molestation in Delhi. There has been more than 630 rapes in this calender year. It means at every  14th hour there has  been one rape.Well these are the only only officially registered figured, the real number may differ. Nirbhaya's death brings out the old issues of  women's respect and safety. The nation of 1.2 billion population where women workship in the form of goddess and the such a kind of molestation is definitely saddening news. Delhi and thereby nation is covered with clouds of grief and anger.  
Today Nirbhaya is not with us but she has ignited the issues of women safety and that indignation has became wild fire and spread across the country. Her fight for life will not go in vain.

Time has come to be proactive for the matters related to women safety. Few of the measures which I read and thought are capital punishment, publishing database of the rapist on public forum, night patrolling by police, setting of fast track courts for speedy justice to the victims, ensuring women safety for the public places like stations, airports, public transport, providing safe environment at the work station, legalization of prostitution and I sincerely believe that there is need to inculcate respect for women at early education level to greatly reduce the women's molestation.

Supreme court in matters of Vishakha v/s state of Rajasthan given guidelines to deals with the cases of Sexual Harassment by constructing internal complain committee headed by women but the enactment of this is in doubt at Indian corporate level. Whereas there are corporation who are paying large attention to women safety by restricting day hours work only and easy pick up and drop arrangements. The Nirbhaya's  death has gained huge international media coverage also, Indians are feeling ashamed of the humiliated episode at there land.

Let us act together to make women safe and secure.
Join the mission!

We can not be empowered unless and until women will not be empowered.


May Nirbhaya's soul  Rest In Peace! Salute to her indomitable spirit!




Faith.
