Another case of gang rape and the victim dying has stirred the heart of the nation. However, even amidst the protests, the incidents of sexual offences are not coming down. A number of steps need to be undertaken to ensure that it becomes a safer world for the fairer sex:
(1) The law relating to kidnapping, abduction, outraging the modesty of women and rape needs to be revamped and stricter punishments should be incorporated.
(2) A woman cell should be made at police stations where the victim can report directly to police women to avoid any undue embarassment as well as to avoid any form of sexual harassment at the station.
(3) Investigation and trial should take place at a fast speed with conviction made within 3 months. Speedier trials and high conviction rate can instil a feeling of fear in the minds of offenders and will bring down the rate of crime.
(4) Hospitals should have a direct contact with police station so that the victim is moved immediately for medical check-up and treatment as well as for the collection of evidence.
(5) Juvenile offenders should not be given the benefit of age as to commit such a crime, they have sufficient understanding to know the nature of the offence.
(6) CCTV should be installed at all public places and ensured that they are in proper working condition. The cameras should not only watch but also record.
(7) Creating awareness at school and college level as well as at public addresses are seesntial.
(8) The society should ber educated so as not to blame the victim. You are not robbed because you have money, you are robbed because somebody wants to get what is not lawfully not his by easier means.
(9) Films and television should play an active role in imparting education about the equality of sexes and should not telecast such offences or incidents and aboveall not glorify them. Films play an important role in effecting impressionable minds, those of children and illiterate people, and so they should have an active role in impressing the difference between what is right and what is wrong.
(10) Aboveall, families should create an atmosphere where every man knows how to respect a woman.
