There are two types of thinkers around us, positive and negative ones. Of course, not a lot but many around us thinks positive. The positive thinkers tend to think good about humans around and all that is going to happen with them will also be good.
Positive thinker might think that negative thinking might lead to undesirable outcomes. But what is been reported or emphasised in the news these days is terrible and frightening. Every day news suggests how many women are being abused around the world. The news reports also suggest that how so many turn a blind eye towards women abuse issues and are still getting worse. The people turning their blind eyes show a definite support to continuation of abuse by not taking a stand to speak up or fight against it. This is not only frightening but also reveals the magnitude of prevailing societal issue that should no longer be ignored. The top most issue in women abasement is sexual assault.
Sexual assault is a term that includes sexual harassment, unwanted sexual contact, child sexual abuse, incest and rape. Sexual contact becomes assault when a person is unable to or does not give a consent to that sexual contact or activity. But this definition excludes marital rape, same sex crimes and sex with a minor below the age of sixteen as rape. According to the available data rape is the fourth most common crime against women in India. According to NCRB (National Crime Records Bureau) annual report of year 2013, there were 24,923 rape cases were reported across India in the year 2012.
Out of these, 24,470 cases were committed by a known person to the victim i.e. 98% of the cases involved perpetrators known to the victims.
