Fwd: 6-Year-Old Raped in School

[Sridhar Machani]

Friends, is there nothing we can do to stop crimes against women? Can't we think of a reasonable deterrence (technologically or otherwise) that works for young and elder girls? 

Last night my mind went sick over multiple news coming from all over the places - it was about 10+ rape incidents. I think the news channels have become Bad News channels. There must be stats that say every 30 mins or less, there's a rape reported in India. 

My blood boils. If there is one thing I'd like to make a difference in my life, this might be it. If we can't even try, what is the point of living, we might as well call it just existing. We, including me, are letting these things happen – and we care only if the problem comes to our doorstep.

Ping me if you want to join for a discussion this weekend – 1-1, in group, in person or on Google Hangouts.

Dear Sridhar,  This petition is gaining a lot of support on Change.org and we thought you might be interested in signing it.  Karnataka Education Minister Kimmane Ratnakar: Issue directive to all schools in Bangalore to impose security measures for the safety of children Pavithra Shetty BANGALORE, India Sign Pavithra's Petition A 6 year old little girl was raped in her school this week. 2 school staffers have been accused of this unforgivable act and yet this Bangalore school’s first response was to deny any responsibility! As a mother of a 3 year old girl, I am shocked, scared and outraged. My little girl goes to a private school in Bangalore and I am extremely worried for her safety. Our children spend several hours in the school every day. It is the school’s responsibility to impose security measures for the safety of children. If we trust them with our children, they should ensure they have the conditions to keep them safe. I started this petition asking the Education Minister of Karnataka, Kimmane Ratnakar to issue a directive to all schools in Bangalore to impose security measures for the safety of children. The education minister has the authority to make all schools in Karnataka more accountable. Ask him to issue a directive that all the schools must - Take full responsibility for the safety and security of all children during school hours - Form a sexual harassment committee comprising of teachers and parents - Conduct full background checks for all the employed and contractual staff - Install CCTV cameras in and around the school compound This is about our precious children. This is the least we can ask from the schools! Join me in asking the Education Minister of Karnataka, Kimmane Ratnakar to issue a directive to all schools in Bangalore to impose security measures for the safety of children.
