Women's Safety

I came across an article that focuses on women. Women are always victims of abuse from men. The article, “Nagpurians cometogether at an event for women’s safety”, is short but points out the main issues of women’s safety. In Delhi, a ganrape started in which many women are exposed and potential victims of it. An even was organized led by Kekti Arbat and Angad Bhatti to help the women at risk. They gave a speech and informed young girls to be prepared with pepper spray and have the police numbers on speed dial.

As I was reading how the young girls are being educated to protect themselves, I started to think of “The Waiting Years” While reading this, lack of education has been brought up. Young girls who are sent to become concubines do not have the opportunity to get educated. Since they are sent away to become concubines from an early age, they do not have the chance of learning about life. They do not know what is out in the world and do not learn how to protect themselves. They are to do whatever they are asked to do by their superiors.

All around the world, there are places in which many people are not educated like in the United States. They have no knowledge of anything which is a big issue. How are women supposed to protect themselves when they have no clue what to do? All they know is how to be dominated by men. They feel as if they have no voice which is false. Everyone has a voice and needs to fight for their rights.
