Women are important part of any society. Therefore it is responsibility of every citizen to take care of welfare of women. However, recent brutal of cases rape and murder of innocent girls shocked the whole country. These incidences sparked countrywide protests and agitations. Our government is encouraging education of girl child and reservation for women in various sectors. However, unless our girls are feeling safe in our country, these measures are inadequate. With rampant eve teasing, molestation, rape and acid attacks, no girl can concentrate on her studies. As an important part of society, scientists must combat these social evils to protect our mothers, sisters and daughters through their scientific knowledge and power.
Can scientists with their brilliant minds and knowledge help to save our women?
Yes. This can be done at various levels:
1. Personal gadgets which can help a woman in distress can be made. These gadgets can be fitted in personal items such as cell phones, wristwatches, hair bands, bracelets, rings, necklaces etc. A simple push of a button can alert a relative or police about position of victim. Alternatively, it can create a short but strong burst of supersonic/electromagnetic waves which can disorient the attackers, thus helping the woman to escape. E.g. mobile phone stun gun.
