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.
