W = Why, Who, When?


Why we cannot ensure safety to our kids, toddlers & teenagers?
Why everyday small kids have to face the brutality of monstrous pedophiles?
What kind of pleasure those beasts’ gets by inflicting pain on those tender souls?
Who would take care of the scars, the wounds which would remain etched in her mind for her life?
Why any incident needs to have horrendously atrocious to elicit our outrage?
Why I have to feel terrified every time my toddler is out of my sight?
When would the victim blaming stop with the pleas that accused ‘got carried away’, ‘was staying away from family since long’, ‘never wanted to rape but the girl provoked her’?
When would the victim blaming stop with the excuses that ‘she was drunk’, ‘she was wearing exposing clothes’, ‘she was asking for it’?
Why we have to listen to our politician’s bull shit & mechanical speeches every time after any heinous brutal incident takes place?
Who defines the time line of judgments in Fast-track courts of Indian judiciary system – actual how fast they are?
Why we cannot teach our sons to treat the female clan with equality and respect the diversity of culture?
When would the law enforcers of our country understand their responsibilities rather than scaring, harassing, passing judgmental remarks and sometimes even raping the victim?
Who can be blamed when a rapist slips from the hands of law-enforcers with the plea of being a juvenile?
I can continue these questions endlessly as there are so many which are staring at our face, but right now feeling too numb & disgusted to write a single word more.

  2. serious questions there and the answers lie within - every person needs to change, make the society socially sensitive and most importantly bring up children in a responsible manner and make them aware of gender equality !

  7. You just asked all the questions for which our society has no proper answer, or wait, it has answers but just not ready to face it. You have said it, we could go on endlessly but it just leaves us drained and empty :(

    Until later,

  9. I have no answers to your questions. I guess a lot of people are asking the same ones. I think eventually it's up to us to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe and not rely on others to do that.

  10. I have no words either ! for the why's who and the when .. thinking of this makes me feel terrible.. a few days ago I attended a session and the questions for discussion was, what went wrong and how can women be safe, so many suggestions had come, most of it appeared like only women's responsibility to take care of herself.... a lot needs to be done, and it must begin from each one of us...
