Precaution is Prior - Crime Against Women

The police encounter on all 4 accused in Hyderabad lady doctor rape-murder case is something I couldn’t appreciate while every other in the country praised a lot. The first thing stroke my mind when I heard on the encounter was the accused were only escaped through this act of instant death.  I see death, killing or execution couldn’t be severe than living to feel the pain and shame. I’m not against the encounter or support it either, but this could be avoided to punish them any other ways where they regret for their cruel act consciously. Life is precious, and one could not compensate on it and at same time taking a life involuntarily couldn’t be right and those culprits deserve punishment undoubtedly. But shot to dead someone will only free them from the consequences that make them feel regret or experience pain until they die.

The encounter could trigger a fear in those who think of molesting women but I don’t know how long this will sustain fear in evil minded men, when the world instantly and constantly turn over topics. I know the violence against women and children has come to light lot these days and this has to be uprooted from our society where new found thoughts are replanted or a change in perception of men, what should thrive from the homes where children are taught or practiced to treat women with equal rights, dignity and respect. Though they deserve lot more than what reaches our thoughts. Despite the actions taken on the accused and sending alarm to men we need to take conscious measure in protecting ourselves at first place before turn over the society.

We somehow knew the society we live isn’t secure – so what we’re in need of lot more security cameras – and in this condition we have to make certain of our own safety. Though they say fear is an illusion in darkness but all conditions aren’t same and what hides in darkness couldn’t be predicted. So it is better we have a torch to guide us safely and beware on every steps forward in a place (society) where it feel suspicious. I wonder what the education system teaches us rather how to protect ourselves first and tackle a suspect trying to hurt us. Why can't the institutions, workplaces guides/practices on self-defence as prior courses before they learn some technical terms, because our life is important than what we learn or earn. Children and women should be aware of the circumstances they work, study or routes commute as these are the places vulnerable for sexual maniacs to attack. Last but not least, these are things that should never let down women who had come to a place which isn’t easily to come over and men had to protect them from their own sexual.

You raise questions and issues that need to be discussed and acted upon in all countries -- not just yours.

Some good points you bring up Jeevan. I would rather see these type of men locked up forever but even then some still get out. Unfortunately there are lots of evil men in the world and I think there will always be.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Evil seems to be increasing and there seems to be no fear of God in these evil men. Many had fallen victims to these evil people and sometimes evil men seem to be let off while the victims suffer in silence.

Hello, Jeevan

This is an important topic. There are a lot of evil men in the world, some are our politicians. They are taking away women's rights, not everyone is noticing. I am against all violence. I prefer peace, love and joy! Thanks for sharing. Have a happy day and a great new week ahead.

Great ideas here about the death penalty ~ the problem is those criminals wouldn't probably have the ability to feel shame and guilt or they would be the way they are ~ just my thoughts ~
To me ~ No one has the right to abuse anyone ~ man,child, woman or animal ~

Happy Moments to You,
