How do you kick 10 men, who are out of their mind, ought to "get" you, driven by sexual rage and who has lost all sense of differentiating between good and bad.? 🤔

You obviously cannot take on a gang of unruly men. However, women in India could benefit from more self confidence and assertion. Eve teasing and groping usually tends to be done by individual men. Many women don't say anything. They will hurriedly walk on, change the seats or avoid the situation rather than confront it. Society tends to ingrain that it is "humiliating" and she should "save face" and "avoid trouble." A woman should not be ashamed or embarrassed because a guy groped her or passed a lewd comment. It is the guy who should be embarrassed and ashamed. We need to give women the confidence to speak up and also encourage society to offer support and respect when they do. Self defense and confidence may not prevent rape, but it does contribute to making a difference.

I think people are exaggerating a little too much over here about Delhi and it's people. Sorry to say but Mumbai lost credibility too when the Keenan and Ruben case happened that too infront of such a large crowd and busy, popular area. In the rehab home for women in Mumbai, set up by the Maharashtra Govt, men used to come, pick up women, rape them. It was a big controversy a few weeks ago. How about that?

Yes Delhi is extremely unsafe. The most unsafe city in India. But to say that its not worth visiting only is saying a little too much. There's too many preconceived notions going on here. There are BPO rules which were made after a case in 2010 especially for the safety of girls and there is an order/procedure to be followed while dropping them home at night. Lakhs of girls and women still stay in Delhi. Go out for the entire night, go to clubs but with the right amount of people. If one goes alone then anywhere is unsafe. People from here care too. Hence all the rallys and outbursts that have been taking place since Tuesday. Walk the roads of Delhi and its filled with guys and girl holding boards, enraged and demanding for justice.

Anyhow, we all have our opinions but I do feel that Delhi isn't totally like what people here are making out to be. I can call US unsafe too based on the no. of shootouts that have happened and nothing has been done about it. I'm sure there can be more happening in future too but doesn't mean I won't visit it only. I'll just make sure to follow all safety procedures and precautionary steps.
