Public outrage after the brutal rape and murder of the 23 year old student, “Nirbhaya,” in Delhi on 16 December 2012 has focused greater attention on necessity for holistic measures for security and safety of women. Sadly despite a strong legislation there has been no reduction in incidents of assault and physical abuse of women underlining larger socio-political ills and environmental changes in Indian society today. The underlying trends may seem aberrations in male behavior but these have become so pronounced in recent times and their ill effects so damaging to society at large that these need blunt assertion.

Briefly stated these include rapidly transforming socio economic landscape, urbanization, and cross-cultural migration. Studies and surveys reveal that basic aggression in male behavior patterns has created a sense of insecurity in women. Biological proclivity of men to sexual aggressiveness has not been affected by the larger movement for gender equality.

Ironically as more women are entering the work space, their vulnerability seems to have increased. Despite financial and material security women continue to be victims at home and outside to male chauvinism which manifests in some cases in mental and physical violence sexual assault and rape being it’s most venal form.

Sexual harassment at the workplace is common with a 2010 survey indicating that 88 percent of women who work in large numbers in the IT/ITES sector have faced some form of persecution. Though as the current public debate indicates all professions seem equally vulnerable. To those working in less privileged jobs exploitative maltreatment may be even more brutal.

These factors suggest amongst others that despite a perceived change of status of women, increased vigilance and stricter laws, violence against women is likely to be a worry for some time to come. More over the trend is not India centric but affects all countries in varied ways.

Knowing The Rights as a Woman

Women are empowered by society as well as legally, simply speaking some basic rights that are universal applied to both genders but specifically for women include the following:-

• Rights as a woman for dignity and respect that implies no male of any age has the right to make advances at a woman tease or sexually harass her.
• A privilege to respect under all circumstances. No one has the rights to make women uncomfortable, whether at work place, home or on the streets, whether in school, college or in a social gathering.
• Rights to physical and mental security. No one has the rights to use physical force, torture physically or mentally, or coerce women in any way, no matter relationship with that person.
• Privilege to complain. Women have all the rights to complain when violated even in the smallest way. Take advice and adopt the correct course under such circumstances, whatever is the status of the individual, be it boss, relative or a neighbourhood bully.
• Rights as a women employee for security by the organization as per Visakha guidelines for prevention of sexual harassment at the workplace.
• Violence physical or mental against women is not her fate as is made out to be in some cases. Dominant behavior is not anyone’s right and not a women’s destiny, thus complaining against the same is in perfect order.

Common Tips – Applicable at all Times

Whatever be the situation or circumstances, there are some constants that are applicable to women’s safety and security these are as follows:-

• Women should be highly concerned about own security especially during vulnerable time as at night and at sensitive locations.
• Mental strength may be more important than physical power, develop a strong will to resist male advances. As noted female activist, Malala Yousafzai said, “If 10 men stare at me in the market I just stare back at them (and they wilt away)”.
• Develop an instinct for trouble and take evasive measures.
• Inclement weather, night, darkness or odd hours are vulnerable times for any woman as much as but more so than others are.
• Isolated places increase level of vulnerability. These can be secluded buildings, parking lots, staircases or even lifts.
• Cyber space has created a new set of challenges for women, be fully cognizant of the threats in use of social media and internet fraud.
• Getting away or escaping from a situation is more sensible than confronting it, remember a cat has nine lives because it skillfully escapes death the other eight times.
• Take a self defence course if possible and at least some form of exercise that will help keep fit and active thereby evading force.
• Nobody is immune to being violated there are examples of women violated in the most affluent homes.

Do’s for women

• Do be aware and accept that women are more vulnerable and the phenomenon is not restricted to India.
• Seek information and develop awareness of local security and safety situation for women in the city, town and the locality in which you live.
• Do be culturally sensitive in your behavior or while dressing, based on the place you are visiting or time of day. This is plain common sense.
• Do alert the security or raise alarm in case you encounter a suspicious person or vulnerable situation.
• Do save emergency numbers on your phone and ring these regularly to check that they actually work especially when you travel from one city to another.
• Do download application that sends distress messages from your cell phones, test it a number of times including reaction of the people on the other side so that they are prepared to help you in an emergency.
• Do equip your car with emergencies when you are going long distance
• Do hire cabs from standard travel companies who rent radio cabs with GPS. If staying in a hotel, hire a cab from the hotel renting service.
• Do check the safety and security arrangements when staying in a hotel room. Prefer rooms with electronic keys and check who holds duplicates.

Conclusion

The advisory essentially outlines basic precautions and emergency measures to be taken by women given the prevalent environment. Our society respects gender equity over the ages and only a small percentage of men can be regarded as predators however for a victim this is small solace. Thus the Do’s and Don’ts are charted to prevent exposure to the minority who may use their gender biases for aggression, mental or physical. The proverb, better be safe than sorry can be most appropriately applied to women. Erring on the positive side is therefore advisable.

Some simple Do’s and Don’ts have been outlined in the preceding paragraphs, making these a habit would create an instinct for an impending hostile situation and provide women with a safety shield deterring an adverse situation.
