Sexual Harassment# who is Responsible?

 Every society is facing violence against the woman like sexual assault, Rape, domestic violence, dowry. The big question is who is responsible for the violence against women, I think that the structure of society gave special power to a man that he can control or rule the women.  Women are also responsible for this structure because they allow to controlling them from man. Women’s can easily leave their rights of property, education and many other rights. Women’s are easily exploited by their family members for their basic and fundamental rights. I don’t know what is this? Is this love or is this fear of question to a male-dominated society. We don’t know what it is but there is a need to change the social structure of society. Some things are happening in that way but not enough. Like in Hindi Cinema we can say that scenario is like to be changed women-centric movies are doing well, and many issues relating to women through those movies they point out. We can say that this is a good start to change the scenario because things couldn’t be changed overnight. Society takes time for changes. We need strong and immediate laws to protect the woman from any kind of violence. And we have also needed to do something with the mindset of society that thinks that women have to depend on the man. If we talk of Hindu mythology Goddess Durga is a big name of power and Strength and she has also protected Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh from the Assuras. And also we celebrate Navratri and worship Goddess Durga. If in our society women is not free or equal to a man or it should be more then bigger to a man because the woman is always playing an important role in every society. There is no meaning of freedom if we are unable to respect or protect women. Women are not just a woman she is a creator of the world. There is a song in Hindi ‘Duniya Banane wale kyat ere man me samayi kahe ko Duniya Banayi’. If we talk about the present scenario in India this is a critical issue that how can we deal with violence against women, there are many kinds of violence. In India, there is a special need to re-evaluate the laws related to women. There should be strict laws like Arab countries, this is an alarming stage, and the Indian government should think seriously about this issue. The big problem in the country is that we take critical issues like an event, how long we can afford this type of situation. If we talk government of this country is very ignorant, nothing can’t take seriously the public also taking things as an event and tomorrow will forget. If the situation will be the same, things can’t be better. The question is again who is responsible? We don’t know but somebody change the situation, the public of this country definitely can change the situation. Because the public chooses the government and public can do everything, there is a need to know their power.

Sexual Harassment is Worse than Terrorism

#Me Too Movement Starts Twelve Years Ago by an African American Civil Rights Activist Tarana Burke. Now is the time to declare A Terrorism to sexual harassment.

there is a saying in Hindi "der aye durust aye." so this would be a big movement, many film Actors and Journalists are accused for harassing women Like M J Akbar, Chetan Bhagat, Suhel Seth, Nana Natekar, Vikash Bahal, Rajat Kapoor Alok Nath and many others and more would be. Among this one thing is clear that men will be men, he can become animal anytime in our Society Woman are being seen as 'Abla' Weak person that everyone can harassed her. we are celebrating Navratras and we Don't aware the power of a Women, Goddess Durga is a big name  of power and an example of protecting men also, women and girls are more powerful than the men the only need is to believing and knowing there power. Men harassing a woman from family, surroundings and workplace, this is a serious crime. The Me Too Movement is a great initiative, now every woman or girl should come out if anything is happen with them. This would be great advantage for upcoming generations; there will be fewer chances to any negative happening with them. Society could not be totally grown without respecting woman respecting every human being. There are very inequalities and irregularities for women are at workplaces, women are seen as toys, and exploited by man many a times. This is a kind of Terrorism to Harassing a human being. From where the thinking comes those women is weak and made only for sex, who is set the mind about women. And who is responsible for this, society, women or men, I don’t know but we have to find out the answer quickly because society needs a change, a change in thinking of every human being. Women needs respect if a women says no that means you should stop. Victims of sexual harassment need to come out and speak up…then only you get justice.

If we will cutting our roots then indirectly we would cutting our feet. We all comes in the world through a women and if we can’t able to respect, than this is a big shame for us for a men, I wouldn’t say protect the women because once we all learn how to respect a women, we wouldn’t need to protect them, it is done by themselves better than men.

This #Me too movement would be great milestone for our upcoming generations for speak out quickly and same time something happening them, because society needs to know what is happening in the society so they can to stop and preventing these type of issues. I salute the women who speak up about what was happening with them. And we have to trust them. Tomorrow the next Victim of Sexual Harassment would be your daughter and sister. We have to need a strong Action against who does the harassment, for our next generations for our Childs.

Sexual Harassment is a kind of terrorism and much more than Terrorism. So the accused of sexual harassment should be punished as a terrorist. Yes it is terrorism if you are harassing a women a ‘mother of the world’ so that should come under serious crime. The government should investigate the allegations and needs to take an action against the accused. And there should be Zero Tolerance against the Sexual harassment. Because Sexual Harassment is bigger than terrorism, terrorist only kill your body but in sexual harassment, you will kill somebody’s soul, heart and a mind. So we need to punish, change and stop.
