The 'P' of Pain and Pleasure

Over the decades, much ink has been spilt over the discussions on the ruthless acts of sexual crime executed by men and the conditions of the sexually harassed women and children all over the world. But little has changed in the system of the society to provide a better security and protection for these victims of sexual violence. There are always innumerable amount of cases that we hear everyday of rape, human trafficking and ill-treatment of women and children. 
Marks of Pain 

What is even more pathetic is the way these victims are treated by the society around them. Most of the cases of sexual abuse do not see the day's light for the fear of going through an even more humiliating and emotionally abasing experience that follows because of the unwelcoming gestures from the people around them. Not many of us realize that salting the wound is much more of an ordeal than just being wounded. 
The society, which we are a part of, should change it's perception towards these victims,  understand them better and treat them with equal respect and dignity.

Do your bit by just being aware and accepting! Simple ain't it?
