WOMEN’S SAFETY

WHAT IS WOMEN'S SAFETY ?

Women's safety involves strategies, practices and policies which aim to reduce gender-based violence (or violence against women), including women's fear of crime. Women's safety involves safe spaces. Space is not neutral.

We all know that our country, India is famous for its different customs and culture throughout the world. In India, it has been a tradition since ancient times that women are given special honour and respect. India is a country where special care is taken of the safety and respect of women. In Indian culture, women have been given the status of Goddess Lakshmi. If we talk about the twenty-first century, then women are working on the shoulders with men in every field, whether it is politics, bank, school, sports, police, defence sector, own business or the desire to fly in the sky is.

LAST FEW YEARS SCENARIO

The level of safety of women is constantly falling. The reason behind this is the continuing increase in crime. From the medieval era to the 21st century, there has been a continuous decline in the situation of women.

WE TALK ABOUT RIGHTS OF WOMEN'S IN INDIA

The Constitution of India guarantees to all Indian women equality (Article 14), no discrimination by the State (Article 15(1)), equality of opportunity (Article 16), equal pay for equal work (Article 39(d)) and Article 42. Women have equal rights for men, they represent half of the population of the country and there are also half partners in development.

LAWS OF WOMEN'S SAFETY

Security of women is a social problem, it needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Women have more than half of the population, who suffer from physical, mental and social status. This is an obstacle to the development and progress of the country.Every day and every minute some women of all walks of life (a mother, a sister, a wife, young girls, and girl baby children) are getting harassed, molested, assaulted, and violated at various places all over the country. Areas like streets, public spaces, public transport, etc have been the territory of women hunters. Girl students studying in the schools or colleges have to shield themselves through books or bags or they have to wear clothes which can cover them completely. In some cases a girl child is sale by her parents just to earn some money. Girls generally face acid attacks on the streets and kidnapping for the sex purpose by strangers. According to the statistics, it is found that a woman is raped in India every 20 minutes.

Solutions of safety for women against violence drive the do-gooders into inventions of everything from safety apps to rape whistles. All of which leads to the understanding that women should avoid violence, stay safe, and alert. The best way at the moment to deal with the safety of women is to equip themselves with self-protection. With all the different techniques of self-protection like karate, pepper-sprays, and equipment, etc available, it’s not always possible to keep these handy or get trained in-order to venture out freely. it’s much easier and an add on to the protection to equip yourself with some app that can keep you always in touch with your loved ones and keep you one tap away from sending Emergency alerts in times of need. One such app I came across and I use is the Satark India app. .
