People of Delhi can probably recall case of Sanjay and Geeta
Chopra. The two, Ranga Billa in that case were caught for various crimes and
were hanged. But that did not change anything. Years have passed. It has gone
from bad to worse. Let there be as many new laws but nothing will change. Laws cannot
control mind. People find way out.
What should be done to control such things? TV debates will certainly not stop all this.
It has to be comprehensive restructuring of system to put discipline in place. Some of the steps can be:
- Society has to adopt zero tolerance to crime against women, become vigilant and remain so without a blink
- Effective laws and speedy trials of offenses
- Effective security at public places and public transport
- Making girls and women aware about threats and skills to avoid these
- Collective voice against eve teasing and sexual crimes, women must speak up strongly if they face any such thing
- Sex education and Moral values education in schools
- Giving opportunity to people to sublime sexual energies in constructive manner
- Identify offenders in bud and involve them in personality correction programs
- Stop 'selling' sex in media, movies etc
- And most important is to have 'Federation for Women' as given in the Swaraj Model. Such federation should be active, alert and effective.
