Leashed by Ownership

Hi,

Sharing few of my thoughts, although people have different opinions on every aspect of life

The recent mass molestation on girls in Bengaluru, India

Was it any different from what happens in the other cities of India? Don't we read daily in our newspapers? every channel has a clipping, discussions, videos on women's abuse as daily 50 updates all over India. 

 

Discussions about Womens rights, dos and don'ts, how they should dress, what time is safe/unsafe for them to walk on streets, who should accompany them, which lanes are safe for them..... and so on

Some companies have introduced safety watches to leash them, (girls), so they can be located by their concerned members by triggering the watch signal, when they feel endangered or should we say fear of being molested, 

Each time I see/hear the advertisement, I now know how the dogs feel when leashed by his master to show his ownership.

Is it so difficult to teach our children: boy/girl that it is their right to treat each other with respect and right to their space in this world of humans.  That we all are here to co-exist.

Is the "older generation" never going to give girls/women their due respect, is the women at home to be treated as an object of ownership ? Respected only when obeyed and served to their Master's wishes?

I say "older generation" as they take pride in their culture, traditions and nurture.  Were they not the ones who passed the heritage of culture to the next generations, so what did they miss?  Why we have so many women abuses? Why is it not safe for  women to walk on streets anymore?

While few of the young girls and boys steal their rights to freedom by working in other cities or sneaking away from the eyes of their guardians, they fall prey to the untamed male distorted mindsets.

So when and how will it change? 

Who will connect the missing culture of respecting women?
