Solutions to Minimize Sexual Assaults/Rapes
1. Police should increase vigilance especially during night times
2. The punishment for culprits when caught and tried should be made severe
3. Those proven guilty should also be made an example of so that the general public understands that assaults, rapes or gang rapes are completely unacceptable in our country
4. Networked police check posts should be created along highways at reasonable interval to check activities along highways
5. GPS enabled panic buttons/apps should be promoted which would send signals in case of danger
6. In all the Police Stations, there should be at least one woman police officer who has the ability to understand the sensitivity of the case and can act accordingly
7. The greatest responsibility lies with the parents both literate and illiterate to educate their daughters and sons the consequences of going out alone or with unknown people and indulging in activities which may have dire consequences
8. Cases of rapes/gang rapes should be tried in fast track courts with judgement within a month
9. Free self-defence trainings should be given to women between age groups 12-35 years
10. Let there be a separate cell for Highway Patrol reporting to District Control Room
11. The guilty should also be required to give a fixed monthly amount to the victim for life time as a punishment
12. MHA should map every district of the country for Women Safety as Green, Orange or Red based on law/order situation, past record and preparedness and awareness should be created about it. more
