It is true that women in
modern India are joining high offices (President, Speaker of Lok Sabha, Union
Ministers, Leader of Opposition, Chief Minister, Governor, etc.) however on the
back of curtain they are being exploited too. According to the Constitution of
India, they have equal rights of dignity, equality, and freedom from gender
discrimination. Indian women are continuously facing numerous problems such as
sexual harassment, violent victimization through rape, acid attack, dowry
deaths, forced prostitution, and many more.

fear all time. Personal safety of women has been the topic of importance for
every Indian citizen. In order to improve the condition regarding women safety
in India, following are some points as tips for women safety:
Some Tips Regarding Women

foremost thing to which each and every woman must be aware of and get proper
self-defense training for their safety. They must be aware of some effective
defense techniques such as kicks to groin, blocking punches, etc.

Generally, most of the women are gifted with
sixth sense which they must use whenever they find themselves in some problem.
They should at once avoid any situation which they feel bad for them.
·
Escape and run is also a good way to reduce some
risks of women whenever they become in problem. They should never go with any
unknown person alone at some unknown places.

Women must understand and feel their physical
power and use accordingly. They never feel themselves weak than men and take
some self-defense training.

Pepper spray can also be proved as a useful
self-defense tool however it has a drawback that some people cannot be harmed
through it even after full-face spray. It may not stop the attacker so women
should not depend on it completely and use other techniques also.
·
They must have all the emergency numbers with
them and WhatsApp also if possible so that they can immediately tell to their
family members and police.

Women should be very conscious while driving the
car and going to any trip. They must lock all the doors of car while traveling
with own or private car.
Women safety is a big social issue which needs to be solved urgently by
the effort of all. It is inhibiting the growth and development of the country
and most importantly hurting the half population of the country in all aspects
(physically, mentally, and socially).
