My organisation-We The Women of India address these concerns.

First we start educating /targeting younger children even eight, nine, ten year olds. Here we are trying to address a generation which can turn into perpetrators tomorrow. This is one step where you are targeting the younger generation .They will be your society tomorrow so they need to understand the importance of these issues.

Then there are people who already comprise this society and tell you please bear with it. You have to start a discourse with them. We as society need to have to a debate. Like you bother for constitution , menace of drugs, terrorism, you have to bother about this ``terrorism on women'' . It has to be addressed. We have to start addressing it as a menace , a social stigma. We have lived covid it was a pandemic, but this a constant pandemic. everyone in the world is living it-only geographies and names change. The plight remains the same.

People are shying away from talking about women issues - I want to tell them these are not women issues, there are social issues, societal concerns. We are talking about half the society and every male who says it's a women's issue has to realise that he has also come from a woman only. It cannot be important only when the victim is your mother, sister, or daughter.

Coming to the judiciary, the course has to be reformed. The top judges have to target this issue, not only for interviews to give an impression of being “women centric judges' but we have to start correctional measures for the judiciary . Nine out of ten judges will fail to understand what sexual abuse is. The fact that even touch can be a sexual abuse, takes time to be accepted. You will have even women judges say that, it is not that serious. If you see an interview of Rupan Deol Bajaj, she says to achieve the landmark judgement took 17 years of her life and career .
