Keywords:
HARASSED MEN, MISUSEAbstract
For most of the people whenever the question of harassment come’s, an image of a women being harassed come’s to their mind. It is perfectly normal for a society like ours where women from centuries have been subjected to different types of harassment, be it public place or her home. Harassing someone is against one’s human rights and should not be tolerated. Still the women in our country were tolerating the same and no one was there to put a stop to it. Women themselves believed that this was the right way in which they should be treated. India has and always had a high rate of illiteracy which further worsens the condition of women to a level that a girl child is killed merely on the basis of her gender. This mindset was and is still prevailing from a very long time in our Indian society. Some of our political leaders like Raja Ram Mohan Roy worked for abolishing sati, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar helped in introducing widow remarriage etc. It was because of people like these that this perspective changed and things started to get better for women in our country. After Independence, it was even in the manifesto of some governments to empower women and give them the rights they deserve. To uplift the condition of women and their status in the society, various laws and policies are enacted by the Government. These laws and policies aim at reducing the gap of social and legal justice between the genders. These laws and policies gave a voice to women and aimed at changing social realities.
