Jan 1 2013: To the originator of this conversation (and why are you hiding behind a generic name?):
Can you list for us your gross annual income the past 10 years, and then how much you gave away each year, and to whom?
I like to see people actually 'put their money where their mouth is' - I respect those who do. As they say, "Talk is cheap".
Unfortunately, people who have grandiose dreams often never look down to see the people in their lives who directly need help today and in small ways - and perhaps even in ways not requiring money.
So I urge you to actually start giving away your money and make notes on your observations and feelings and experiences. And then let's see how much you gave, for how long, and how you felt.
Dec 30 2012: If you show an advertising video clip of a girl asking her brother if he has 'eve teased' (harassed), and if he has, she scolds him. Then the advt should ask sisters to do the same.
or a an advertising video clip of a mother telling her son to keep his hands to himself. Then the advt should ask mothers to do the same.... you get the idea.
It is a lot more effective than changing laws or adding new police patrols or other measures that will fade.
Dec 29 2012: I agree with many of your points, but this gang rape was just the tip of the iceberg. There is a culture of sexual harassment prevalent in India. Women commuting, going for a walk, traveling by bus, are unsafe. I have personally witnessed plenty of harassment in India. If women influence the men in their lives to treat women they come across with respect, then there will be a general atmosphere that is safe for women.
