Yes but ignoring is a way to stop, I don't think so. N also People r such cowards can't beat up when they clearly see Autorickshaw wallas or Men on streets Molesting girls or passing off lewd comments etc?
I don't think such things should really be taken Lightly n also attitude of policemen towards this is sometimes appalling but that should not stop people from doing what is necessary to teach such goons a lesson. Not all policemen are like that, some of them r truly brave and upright.
Somewhere I think after Nirbhaya case a lot of women are coming upfront and registering such incidents, there r lot of things happening - media exposure etc, such incidents will not stop completely but surely reporting such incidents will instill some fear in a criminal's mind especially if they come from weaker sections of society.
But if u challenge in Court u can bring down Rich and famous people too- Jessica Lal case. (obviously she too was a celebrity on social circuit is a different issue, but the politician in that case used up every resources possible.)
Obviously in both the cases above, Nirbhaya will not b back nor Jessica n somewhere complete justice is not served too , but their cases gives hopes to many thousands of victims and their family members who have gone through similar trauma.
These days even parents r helping in registering cases etc - earlier the family wud disown their own daughters and target the victim(girl) but now at least Parents and people in the society are showing some sympathy towards women.
Law is changing, it will take a while may be a 100 years but still its worth a fight.
