HOW FEW THINGS NEVER CHANGE.........

 

Women have attained success in different fields, today women are also the earning members of the family, they have reached to a certain position, which was unimaginable for them to attain at a certain period of time, now it’s hard to find a career meant only for men. Even though women have attained success in different careers, crime against women still prevails.

There have been numerous case reports against this harassment, in recent years incidents such as rape, acid attacks etc, have increased, a man has more chances of getting promoted compared to a woman, even though they might have sharing similar work, in the same organization, it is also likely that between a man and a woman who share similar work, that the male employee is given higher salary compared to the female employee, thus an organization might be showing differences in treatment  of  their male and female employees. Despite these harassments at the work place, women may also have to go through abuse at her household, making the only place where she can relax unsafe. Working late is not safe for women either, there have been many incidents such as abduction, rape etc making it unsuitable for women to take night shifts, organization might provide traveling facilities for women, but in most cases the cab driver is the one who assaults her. 

It was also commented by a police officer recently, that due to their modern dressing, women are going through sexual harassments, but women living village, who mostly dress in traditional clothing, are also going through similar kind of sexual harassment, thus making this statement untrue. All these incidents take place, not because women are less empowered, but it depends on the way the society treats them.
Indian society traditionally being a male dominant society, believes that women are subordinates and earning is done by men of the family, may be the root cause of all the harassment a woman has to go through, it was believed that a woman should perform her traditional house hold duties and a recent change in this structure has caused this instability, leading to this injustice against women. Even at an young age parents do not let a girl child equal freedom as they might provide her brother with, she has more restrictions over do’s and don’ts, this type treatment by the parents may result in her being more reserved and make it difficult  for her communicate if she’s being harassed at her work place or at her in-laws .

In order to stop this injustice towards women, the society should change its point of view towards this change, until the society changes its views, crime against women may prevail.
