Rape cases

      

 Isn’t there any way to stop rapes? Why there is a constant rise in rape cases? We say that our society is developing but how is it developing when it is not even able to stop such crimes? What is the point of economic growth, all technological developments when it is not coming in use to stop rapes? Did you know that every 22 mins a woman gets raped and every single day 90 rape cases takes place? Also only 1 out of 10 cases are being registered with the police. According to the statistics one in 5 women and one in 71 men will be raped at some point in their lives. The ratio itself shows that how unsafe it is for a woman to survive in this Society. What makes men take such drastic step that they are ready to spoil a person's life, just to fulfill their sexual desires? Rapists are men of all ages and from all walks of life. In 2015 a 5 yr. old girl was gang raped near anand vihar, east Delhi.  What is happening to our society? Even a 5 year old girl is not safe in this society. Parents now have to even think twice before sending their children alone out to play. Girls often complain that their parents discriminate and don't give them as much freedom to travel alone as they deserve but the truth is they are also forced to do this in order to keep their daughters safe. But till when parents will protect their daughters? Some or the other day, they have to let them live independently. So how do we put on rapes?

Clearly, the enforcement of anti-rape bill 2013, is also not able to stop such cases. May be India should also adopt horrifying punishments for rapists like in Saudi Arabia where rapists are beheaded within days as their punishment for rape in public. Government need to install cameras in all the public places and should maintain it properly. But government alone can’t root it out, we as individuals also need to step-up against it.

If you ever witness any situation like rape, then don’t fear to intervene and step up for that person.
