Sexual violence against women in schools, at work place, on streets, in public transport or in confines of homes continues unabated. There is outrage but then the story is forgotten by repeat of another. The laws, recommendations need immediate, time bound implementation. Work places have ineffective standing committees on sexual harassment. The commissions for women in every state must be proactive not tied to apron strings of politicians for appointments. The overwhelming shortage of law enforcers, judicial officers is a crying need to be addressed on priority. Only high profile cases in cities and towns get reported. The juveniles who commit heinous crimes need no exclusion. Death sentence in Nirbhaya case has not decreased sensational crimes, including against defenseless toddlers, minors. Sexual convicts get frequent paroles. Women's emancipation, education, employment, lifestyles, defenselessness have made them vulnerable. The legal system is too much concerned about justice to offenders rather than silent victims of inhuman torture.
