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. 
Click here for a soul touching talk by Sunitha Krishnan who is fighting against human trafficking and sexual slavery and thereby helping thousands of those unfortunate victims who suffer the Pain that, on the other hand, gives Pleasure to the pitiless culprits of society.

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

  5. more of poverty and ruthless practices in various castes , which is responsible for such violence. But solution is economic and educational uplifting which is a distant dream in poor countries like in India.
    But if you look at middle east same happens for different reason and where woman is more vulnerable
    If you look at west, liberalism, good education and equality with men has controlled the menace..:)
