Firstly respect and admiration for the young girl who had the courage to go ahead and report the wrong that was done.Now, as a society and its institutions be it the Police, Law& justice we need to ensure that the criminals are severely punished. At the same time groundbreaking efforts have to be made to ensure that a social change is brought about in our thinking, attitude, traditional practices and behaviour towards women of our society. Whilst this kind of deep change will take time to show results in the meanwhile the Law and adminstration has to take exemplary strong steps. No tolerance policy has to be applied to crimes against women. Our society is ill. And the Law enforcement and Administration cannot just stand and watch it fall apart.

BABUL Poem:
A poem written from a young girl’s perspective whose real need and wish is sensitively put across. That of choice& freedom.
Babul iya mora ghabraye, babul,
Bin bole raha na jaye.
Babul mori itni araj sun li jo,
Mohe sunar ke ghar na deejiyo,
Mohe jewar kabhi na bhaye.
Babul mori itni ajar sun li jo,
Mohe vyapari ghar na deejo
Mohe dhan dhaulat na suhahe
Babul mori itni araj sun li jo,
Mohe raja ghar na deejiyo,
Mohe raaj karna na aye.
Babul mori itni araj sun li jo
Mohe Lohar ke ghar de deejiyo
Jo mori janjeerey pighlaye...
