Damsels Do Not Distress
Hello friends! Every morning standing in the balcony with my refreshing cuppa of chai
, I see teems of women hurrying by on way to work. Fills the heart with immense pleasure as I see this all new Young Hindustan.
However pleasure and pain are but two sides of a coin, and pain is what I feel whenever I read of any atrocity against women in our society. With crime against women going up in all strata of society, the Question of Women Safety and what society is doing to deal with it raises its ugly head time and again.
With all our talk of empowering women and hailing her at par with the males of society we seem to have denied women a very basic right. The right to safety!
And this in a country where women for long have been venerated as shakti or the goddess of strength. A power which expunges evil from the very face off earth. In contemporary times too, the highest degree of respect is accorded to women for it is they who bring us into this world, nurturing us and to quite an extent moulding us into what we are.
Having said all this, it sure is a sorry state that this very woman is unsafe on our streets today!
Todays fast changing times see a number of women in pursuit of a better life and career moving away from hearth and home. It is this new gen woman not ready to be held hostage to the myopic view of a few, whos at maximum risk.
Picture a scenario where a lady travelling to remote parts of her own city or maybe out on a fun trip, is open to corny comments, a hold up or even a bid to lead one astray and whoosh there goes your fun! And all this for she has no option but to stop and talk to strangers simply to inquire for directions down the road, a close- by petrol pump or a restaurant in the area.
Well aware of the downsides, most women arm themselves with self defense techniques - be it a pepper spray, karate or a hockey stick. Few more options could be a hard jab from those high heels or a whack courtesy the heavy bags that we carry. An emergency call from Cell phones is also a big help. But Prevention friends, is always better than Cure, and today there is a far simpler way to conquer ones fears.
It is technology, friends, which once again comes to our rescue. The world of technology now brings to the Indian market, navigation devices.
