Night Walkathon to create awareness against sexual violence

Hyderabad: For the first time in city a Night Walkathon was organised on Saturday to create awareness on the issues of Sexual Violence (Rape) against women and girl child is perhaps the most appalling human rights violation and is the most pervasive.

It has no boundaries of geography, culture or wealth, Rape is not just a women’s issue. It’s about the men who stopped behaving like human beings and start behaving like animals. Most of these are happening because of less police females, not enough police in general, blaming provocative clothing, acceptance of domestic violence, lack of public safety, stigmatising the victim, encouraging rape victims to compromise, eve Teasing and other problems.

Nowadays many younger girl child are also becoming the victims of these sexual violence. As long as this continues, we cannot claim to be making real progress towards equality, development and peace in our country. During the Night Walkathon more than 200 people gathered at Necklace Roadss People’s Plaza and supported the cause demanding the Central and State government to develop new policies in our legal system and implement to give a full stop for these issues in India.
