Rape is defined as a sexual assault, which is carried out by person against another person without their consent.

India ranked seventh worst country on sex trafficking and crime against minors. India has to recorded an average of 87 rape cases daily in 2019.It’s just shameful to say that rape cases in India is increasing day by day.

MY VIEW

It’s just terrible to find out the increase in number of cases of rape in country like India. A country India also known as Bharat Mata where we treat our motherland as goddess but forget to respect those women of our nation. By seeing these kinds of wrong activities in the society women are losing their hope from humanity and they don’t even wish to seek love, care and help from anyone because of  fear of being molested.

There are also lots of women who had been harassed, ravaged but had never uttered a single word due to the fear of society.

Where does the humanity lost! Why can’t women be safe? What are the reasons behind the increasing rape case? When does these evil work will get vanished? There are utmost number of questions arising every day in everyone’s mind. But no answer has been found.

The peace has been lost, the confidence has no where be seen, beautiful Smiles Are miles away, the dreams are changed into nightmare.

Now it’s enough, it’s time to raise the voice, it’s time to punish the evils for their sins. Every evil comes to an end and its time for the end of sinful people.

Indian’s have to give the slight of rays of secureness. So that, the women can spread her wings to the fullest and fly in the sky. A little change in each Indian’s will make a big difference, just by learning to love but not to harass, by learning to raise the voice against sin activities.
