Which Indian city is the safest for women?

Time Posted by IBNLive at 12:30 PM, Oct 02, 2008 in India

As more and more women step out of the secure confines of their homes to study, work and make a life for themselves, there are rising incidents of violence and harassment against them. For women in the cities, life is not a smooth ride. From lecherous glances to bottoms being pinched in crowded buses and Metros to being harassed, life for the fairer sex is not fair in the cities. What can be done to make our metros safe for women? Tell us.

in india all the cities are unsafe, especially if we look at north india most of the cities are unsafe for women. we can deduce certain facts from this that respect for women is less and illiteracy factor is more.blaming women and advising them to stay indoors is not the solution rather we should have effective policing and fast track decisions and punishments to the culprits. media should also follow the case till its completion and bring to the public if the culprit gets away scot free through money power or otherwise.

J C Ferns must have some gall to say this about Goa after the recent spate of attacks on women tourists in Goa. The native women do not dare to venture out after dark !

Infact no Indian city is safe for women working for late hours,or for moving about for other engagemnents.But Delhi is the most insecure.There is no securiy for them while returning home or even in their work places.It is time a serious thought is given to provide protection to such women by the respective state governments.Instead of paying attention to this aspect,Sheila Dixit the Delhi CM speaks in a lighter fashion about such ladies as thought they are moving out during late nights for pleasure sake!.It was highly wrong on the part of the CM that too herself being a woman to treat such ladies in a casual fashion.

I totally agree with Srikantiah, we must teach the younger generation to respect women, it must start at home, than at school were the children spend most of there time. There should be more women officers in the police force. Women should learn some form of self defence.

Change in women's mindsets and the way mothers bring up their sons. Change in the way female teachers differentiate between girl students and boy students because of their inherently psychological complexes.

Employment of civilian women officers to patrol the towns and cities to book cases.

Establishment of support groups among women to handle these cases in the workplace, supported by HR.

Use of national advertising media to educate the woman householder on the methods to be adopted for respecting the girl child - both at home and outside.

Finally, more officers like Kiran Bedi. Women would do well if they could use a part of their salary to reward the police officers in their local police station, create a goodwill and awareness message that the police need to support them in society.
