How to Prevent Such Issues

Strengthen Security in Institutions:

Educational institutions and workplaces must have robust security measures, including surveillance cameras, security personnel, and restricted access to certain areas.

Promote Awareness and Education:

Conduct regular workshops and training sessions on gender sensitivity, self-defense, and legal rights to empower women and educate men about respect and equality.

Strict Enforcement of Laws:

Ensure strict enforcement of laws related to sexual harassment, assault, and violence against women. Fast-track courts should be established to handle such cases swiftly.

Support and Helplines:

Provide accessible support services like helplines, counseling, and legal aid for victims of abuse and violence.

Community Involvement:

Encourage community-based initiatives that involve local groups, NGOs, and citizens to create a safe and supportive environment for women.

Strengthen Reporting Mechanisms:

Make it easier for victims to report incidents without fear of retribution. Anonymity and protection should be guaranteed for those who come forward.

By working together, we can create a safer society where such tragic events are less likely to occur, and justice is served swiftly and effectively when they do.
