SOBERING


       Continuous sobering  thought  crippling me :
       ' Seven hundred thirty six million 
         women, means almost one In every three'
         are vulnerable to molestation.

          Most shocking Global Statistics to mention :
           A nasty ruthless truth , hard to believe !
            Is this progress of civilization ?
            With respect and peace how can women live ?
         
            Sexual , also  physical violence
            by intimate partner or non partner :
            Thirty percent women experience.
           Sexual harrasment to count later.
 
           Where lies remedy ! What's the solution ?
          ' Woman to respect and protect always.'
           From very childhood, male child to learn 
           ' That's prime duty of man ' ! I must say..

            To honour a woman at every step
             should be a perfect Man's priority.
            Sure, this moral concept will prevent rape
            building a happy healthy society.
