The
article I read for this week’s blog was on the treatment of women in India.
According to the article the police in India doesn’t care that day by day women
get sexually harassed. In India most women have learned to “accept” the
treatment they get. Everywhere they go women get groped, fondled and teased. The
worst part about this situation is that there is nothing women can do about it.
It’s so bad that the men feel safe groping and bother women in public places.
If a woman gets the courage to go TRY and file a report they get laughed at and
kicked out of the police station.
The
author of the article stressed that if the laws and the police enforcement in
India doesn’t change then the citizens are going to keep doing what they do.
The police doesn’t just ignore the woman about sexual harassments, they ignore
everything if their paid off! If the government doesn’t do anything to change
the situation in India nobody will.
The
rape and death of the young girl in Deli is what started to stir things up.
According to the reporter the woman was gang rapped and died two weeks later
from the injuries. The friend that was with her was also badly beaten when he
tried to protect her. In the newspapers we read all about the story. What wasn’t
in the newspaper was that from Delhi to Tamilnadu state government official
replied to the Supreme Court by saying “we don’t care”. We don’t care! That’s what
the government official had to say.
People
elsewhere didn’t really know how bad things are in India because the news doesn’t
tell us everything. The Supreme Court set up PCA’s in every district but the
police don’t care, they keep doing what they’re doing. Even the people who work
for the PCA’s don’t care. It seems like no one cares about these poor girls who
suffer day by day!
