A)Women outside their home after dusk, or at about any activity other than the domestic chores that gives them social legitimacy — anything that indulges sensual pleasure, such as eating out or watching a film, leave alone something as laden with promiscuous potential as dancing or partying — are considered by many to be less than chaste, and, therefore, fair game for sexual predation.
B)Nirbhaya was neither the first nor the last woman to be brutally assaulted. But the sheer savagery of the assault triggered unprecedented outrage. But mere outrage will not secure women.
C)Much of the focus on this count has been on the physical solutions: helpline numbers to summon emergency teams, better police patrolling and even self-defence lessons for women.
D) These do not address the root problem that lies in social values that subjugate women and their sexuality. Women are deemed virtuous depending on their location in time and space, apart from social class, and how they dress
E)The Supreme Court’s Nirbhaya verdict, upholding death for the four accused in jail — one committed suicide and the sixth, a juvenile, was sentenced in 2013 to a three-year term in a juvenile home — will not settle with finality any of the questions that racked society’s conscience in the wake of the brutal assault on a young woman on December 16, 2012.
F)These relate to the validity of capital punishment in a humane society, the right punishment for the heinous crime of rape and women’s uncertain security in the country.
