Sexual assault and rape cases have been a major concern in India for a long time. Despite several initiatives taken by the government and NGOs, such cases continue to occur across the country. In such a scenario, it is essential to promote self-defense training for women so that they can protect themselves from any kind of assault.
Such training not only helps women protect themselves but also gives them a sense of empowerment and confidence.
Moreover, strict laws and their proper implementation are also necessary to curb sexual assault and rape cases. The government needs to take more effective steps to ensure the safety of women and to make sure that perpetrators of such crimes are given stringent punishment. Along with that, society needs to change its mindset toward women and treat them with respect and dignity.
The incident in the Morigaon district highlights the need for women to be equipped with self-defense training and for society to be more mindful of women’s safety. The government must take more steps to ensure the safety of women, and society must treat women with respect and dignity. It is essential to spread awareness about women’s safety and to empower them to protect themselves.
