MORE WOMEN MUST SPEAK UP

-

The possibilit­y that many innocent men might become victims of the #MeToo wave cannot be ruled out. However, even more alarming is that fact that no woman is safe from the fear of rape. Almost every woman in our country has been subject to a groping gaze or hands, dirty comments and filthy phone calls. Mostly, these are suppressed out of fear. Does time heal every wound? Sadly it doesn’t? This psychologi­cal attack on one’s whole life should be a punishable crime. Today, celebrity faces might be leading the #MeToo chorus, but there are other voices who want to let the burden off their heart. Hopefully they will muster courage to open up. This may discourage potential rapists. Anju Juneja, Panchkula
