A woman is r***d every 19min in our country. This data is the tip of the iceberg because the majority of rapes go unreported for fear of social shame. The voluminous, impressive laws remain in the law books. The law and order machinery is used more often to hush up crimes instead of catching criminals. The leaders who are sworn to ensure the protection of the civil society are, very often, predators themselves.
There is only one way out for women. Stand up and protect yourself. One suggestion is to demand that Taser stun guns be made legal for women. They are prohibited in India. Tasers are not lethal. They shoot two small arrows which emit electric current to paralyse the aggressor for a certain time. Raise your voice for this as a self-defence weapon. Meanwhile, get pepper sprays. I carry one.
