There is a difference between giving an advise and blaming the girl. Nowadays, it's not safe to go anywhere where there are group of boys. In fact, group of boys aren't even allowed in some pubs nowadays. I myself don't enter an auto rickshaw or even bus where there are only males. That's a precaution and if one can't find another auto rickshaw, it's better to wait for another one or take someone with you. But well, it depends on the circumstances too as today's men are jerks and creeps. It's better if girls are allowed to carry some kind of weapon to protect herself but then comes an argument that it will be misused. In short, nothing can be done except keeping a watch all the time.

And till the time they learn about consent and the strict punishment law is implemented, do what? Another grim reality is that strict punishment laws would take long, very long.. Tab tak kia karein woh bata do, I will throw caution to the wind and do whatever you advice.. Jab tak rapists learn their lesson, what should I do to at least reduce the chances of me being their next target?

This is shocking. Appalled at the level of a person's 'empathy'. Unsolicited advice to a rape survivor.

if u feel some preventive measure work for u.I am glad that you are safe and u feel they are working,  still, u cannot expect that to reduce to chance of being the next target for someone else or even lessening it either. U don't know what circumstance each woman will be.Precaution does nothing and I just find it very insensitive when people etc..are like the woman should have gotten into to the taxi knowing men where there, that I feel is actually is a mocking a grave issue like rape.

Chandigarh is considered as one of safest cities in country.  So many times we had night out with female friends  never ever we faced any problem.  Because there is police everywhere n so many rules.  It was considered one of best places for women.  So it's just shocking 

Next what ...we should stop going into a train full of strangers or a bus full of strangers men or a plane full of them  What are they men or animals that we need to me afraid of them all the time . A person with authority to change the laws and implement the lwas doesn't look good giving these advises , they only suit on family members and friends .

It's devastating to read the responses here of everyone's personal experience with public transport. I can relate on so many levels...I live in the so called "progressive' country of the world and I still feel a sense of uneasiness anytime I travel via public transport. Anytime I am out at night by myself I make sure to take pepper spray with me and I have to make sure my phone is fully charged. As women it's ingrained in our mind to always be wary of our surroundings, and take all the safety precautions necessary because there is never a situation where we can truthfully say we feel 100% safe and comfortable. Can you imagine constantly living in fear and paranoia your whole life? Will this ever change? Why is the concept of consent hard to grasp, why is it difficult to respect women for the human beings they are, rather than sexual objects for your viewing pleasure?

Even as an increasing number of violent crimes against women, especially rape, continue to be reported across the country our esteemed parliamentarians are busy discussing the next course of action over a controversial movie when there is censor board and court to deal with it. Sad state of affairs.
