It is very Easy to debate online about death penalties, politicians and their crocodile tears, whether we want the girl to survive or die, and about "oh how I would like to shoot those men who brutalized her!!".
How many of us have kept lines of communication open with our kids ? How many of us know our rights, our basic ones? How many of us would step in and help someone in trouble, even if that meant getting beaten up in the process ? God forbid, if someone YOU know is raped or abused, do educate yourself on how to work with them without re-victimizing them.
There's a lot to discuss...we could go on all day.But..There is one thing we could all "DO".
1.EDUCATE. Walk into schools, colleges, offices, nightclubs, movie halls etc. ARMED with infor...mation and resources. TALK about the importance of being safe and aware. Talk to your domestic help, the chai wala ..Spare no one.
2.INTERVENE intelligently when you see bad things happening. Gathering forces and collecting evidence might be a better option than trying to take down 6 psychos. Make smart choices.
3.OBJECT when someone misbehaves. It doesn't matter if this is a drunk friend or a member of the family. Screw that. Self-respect first,"WHAT WILL SOCIETY THINK" later.
