We need tougher laws which are strictly implemented.
We need to conduct awareness classes nationwide.
We need to have swift execution of justice and for barbaric rapes which results in murder, death penalty should be made mandatory.
For other rapes a minimum of 15 years prison term should be given.
Instead of asking the victim to prove rape, let the accused prove that it did not take place.
To a large extend parents are responsible for the way their sons behave, this includes mothers. Make a son treat his sisters and mother respectfully and he will do the same for other ladies too. The Indian society should stop giving excuses and privileges to men. It is high time that people realize with power and money; they need to be aware of their responsibilities too...
If each parent decides that we will not allow gender based mistreatment at home, we can very well raise an ethically rich Indian generation….

I read about ladies thrashing a politician in the northern
part of India for misbehaving with a girl...well done...
In another state, a group of bikers have come forward with
an organization to help the ladies from eve teasers.... hats off to them...
I don't have a son, but still if my son was one of the
rapists, I would have come forward to publically apologize. I really feel that
the families of such barbarians need to come forward and speak publically
against the shame they have brought on their sisters and mothers. This may prevent many others from abusing or
misbehaving with women.
A friend of mine having a son on seeing my comment on facebook said, we will teach our sons properly but will you let your daughters freely. My reply is if our sons will behave properly then why should I be scared of our daughters. I believe in healthy friendship between men and woman and 95% of my good friends are men. So why not for my daughters...Let us think collectively and not as ...my son versus your daughter. Your son is my son, my daughter is your daughter so let all the parents work together for our kids...

The public should not hate the families of rapists but offer
support so that they can come forward to join the protesters. I really like the
way our PM's daughter came forward to contradict the derogatory words of PM's
son. That is the spirit we need.
If someone in the family is going in the wrong direction, let others stand up to correct them. Time is over for Indian woman to stand aside and watch our sisters getting abused. Let us react and initiate the change.

I am glad you come out of hiberation.
I agree with your assessment. It is a complex problem. Parent, society, law makers and all of us have to work together to fix it.
Yaah...it needs collective effort..
Only me Petty Witter but with a different name. I don't know how or why but my blog has changed to google+, my blog profile has disappeared and I'm unable to sign in as Petty Witter which is causing some confusion. Anyone else having similar issues?
Anyway, thanks for stopping by at Pen and Paper, I truly appreciate your visiting.
Great that A's post has caused so many to post their own thoughts on this tragic event. I agree with you that it will indeed take a collective effort if such occurences are to be stamped out.
Thank you for visiting. You know me as stranger who had a blog, stranger in my heart. I used to enjoy your posts then and still do... I love all your posts...
I too have difficulty commenting on some blogs..any idea why?
I too think that more than anything its families who are to blame..we produce the children but dont bother about their upbringing..its not only food ,clothes and shelter.they need much more .
Happy New year!! thanks for the visit and lovely comment.
Heyy glad to see you back!!
As for your post, I remember when I was growing up, my father was reluctant to let me go out alone other than to school and college. When I accused him of not trusting me, he said, "I trust you, but not the world". During my teenage and early womanhood, I too have been subjected to numerous cases of molestation in public transport. Too timid to speak out, I let it ruin my self-confidence, until I met my husband whose love and understanding made me confident again.
Mangala,
Thank you for passing by. I sent you an email on facebook asking your number..when are you planning to come...
Yeah, I know how uncomfortable it could be. The one and only time I was subjected to misbehavior was when I was in grade 6 while using public transport with my sister. I was seething with rage by the time I reached our destination but my anger was bottled up. I was scolding myself for not reacting but instead of loosing my confidence, It made me prepared for the second time.
The next day the same man got in the bus and when he came near us and started to touch, I shouted at him so loudly that he got off at the next stop. After that I learned, there is no one to help us, other than us. So better lash out rather than suffer in silence.
I tell my girls too, speak out if there is something you dont like. The rest I will take care...
If all woman in India decides not to vote for political parties not doing anything for safety and security of woman, I am sure laws will come flying to protect us..
