Disgraceful!

Tuesday, 19th October, 2010.

I was disgusted when I read that a 30-yr-old woman had been
raped by a doctor in the ICU of Lotus Hospital in Mumbai. To make it worse he had shown her obscene clips and also made a recording of her.
The hospital instead of standing for the right thing is trying to cover up the incident and claming that the lady has mental problems.
This so sick and disgusting. They should punish the doctor who was supposed to take care of the ill woman and not do something immoral and inhuman. It is a heinous and shameful act!
Another woman was molested by a doctor in Malviya Nagar in New Delhi. The doctor has been arrested and terminated and I hope he gets the punishment he deserves for being so unethical.

A third case which came to my notice in today's newspaper was about a 26-yr-old woman who was molested by her father-in- law. I cannot believe this. This is so disgraceful, it is horrifying to see that men can go down to such levels and cannot treat women with respect.


It is the patriarchal mindset that wants women to be objects and under the control of men. They treat women as sex-objects and cannot treat them with dignity and respect. I feel this is atrocious and unforgivable.
In the year 2008, 20,000 rape cases were reported and every hour there are atleast 20 crimes committed against women across the country.
Earlier women thought that places outside their houses for instance the work places or parties were not safe. Unfortunately, now their own houses and the hospitals which are places of trust, security and protection no longer fulfill their role.
All this is extremely disturbing and terrible.
I think men should learn to respect women and should mend their ways!
