Rape of a Woman....

The past two months the Press has been all about Rape and Women. Justice Verma released his report on the need to Act. The Government did and an Ordnance was issued to effect.

I’m sorry if what I am about to say offends the hard core conservatives out there, but I can’t help it.  Everything offends, but we must try. Humans have sex. Having sex is a part of life.  In fact it’s part of the cycle of life.  It’s human nature.  And it’s not bad either. In fact, it’s kinda nice. (No I didn't have sex outside marriage, I knew better.  I grew up in a family with values, but that’s another story.) There has been no discussion on the real reasons of Rape here. What all have been discussing is the punishment to the rapist.

Referring to an analogous situation - I have been a regular writer to all Government bodies that matter, that the better way to stop people from using the streets as their personal toilet is to provide them a relieving facility at regular intervals. Charge a small fee for its maintenance. Then act on those who still continue to use the street. The authorities having acted, the situation today is better than the last decade.

Similarly set up centres where those migrants who need to relieve themselves can visit. It is only when the person is away from home for long stretches that his hormones go wild. If he knows the place to visit and relieve his tensions, and if society learns to accept this rather than condemn, then alone we can be sure our Mothers, Sisters, Wives and Daughters are safe on the streets. Not until then. Else this will continue no matter what the deterrent. 

The only need is to have these centres registered, and the inmates who provide their services are medically fit at all times. The visitor must have a certificate that certifies he is medically fit, and the certificate needs to be validated every 6 months... Think. Maybe this will resolve the issue. Then act on the violators as per the Law.
