The news of  the gangrape of a DIET-PTC student in Patan by her  six professors  , has stirred the otherwise safe Gujarat and for that matter entire country .

Imagine a fully resdential college girls college , completely secluded from the outside world  with just 1 female teacher for over 10 years  and the principle already tainted with sexual harrasment allegations .The setting is just too perfect for such crimes to flourish.

The six sexual beast would not  have  been emboldened enough had there been a female prinicipal and   female teachers outnumbering males .The issue is not just another issue of sexual harassment but points to a graver concern the  presence of woman workforce in every domain  of human activity.

It is really disheartening that women constitute  a very small % of workforce .ITES BPO tops with nearly67 % owomen, IT at  24% s with defence forces dismaly low under 10 % as per a study conducted in 2005.

And what compouds the issue is the skewed sex ratio across the entire north india and gujarat in particular.It is really mocking  that not a single person has been brought to book by law for female infanticide .Have you seen the movie "matrubhumi" a depiction of the society without woman ??? are we heading towards a similar fate ?

 So the time is ripe when we wear our thinking hats and save our  unsuspecting ,impressionable girls from the being the objects of prey .

Save the girl child
