Are women safe in Delhi?

NURSE IN Delhi is raped by a colleague. The case in point is of a girl, working in a Delhi hospital as part of the paramedic team. On the fateful day, the colleague raped her and threw her in the hospital’s bathroom. The accused had been, reportedly, stalking her since a long time. He got the chance when Ruby (name changed) was working on the night duty. He brutally beat her up and raped her. Thereafter, he dumped the woman in the hospital’s bathroom. She was rescued the next morning when another lady working in this hospital saw her lying in a pool of blood in the toilet. Later on Ruby’s family members were informed and she was admitted in this very hospital in a critical condition. Just think over the whole thing. Where was Ruby wrong? Is it wrong to work? Is it an offence to be self-dependent? Or it is a crime to be a girl?
The tragic saga does not end here. Her family members were completely frozen when the doctors refused the handle the ‘complicated case’. Although Ruby was an employee of the hospital, the doctors were not willing to treat her. For 2-3 hours, the family of the victim begged for her life. But all went in vain. Finally they rushed her to another hospital.
Fortunately, this hospital admitted her. However, by that time the victim had gone to coma. The doctors could save her after a long treatment but Ruby had lost an eye by that time. Yes! She has lost an eye and her mental stability. This is the real story of a girl in our capital, uncovered by Zee TV’s programme Crime Reporter.
Is there anybody who can give back her eye and her sanity? Is there anybody who can bring back the chuckle in her life? Absolutely not, then who had given the culprit the right to destroy her life? You uncouth, unsympathetic male will never understand the wretched condition of Ruby. We, women can understand because when we are touched, teased, harassed in our daily lives, we react ruthlessly. That is the time when we feel like exploding all such men to bits. We know all the fingers are not equal, but just try reading Ruby’s mental status.
Will she ever be able to trust men? Will she ever be comfortable with a man? Never. And this is not the only such case, there are so many Rubys who are being battered and subjugated continuously by men. But I would like to say to all such victims: Stand Up, Come and Fight Back… Don’t let this male-dominated society win morally. We will not win our war if we keep mum, if we sit back with face bowed down. Get back with renewed vigour and give your tormentors a fitting reply by getting back to your normal lives. You are not alone, because this is not only your war; this is our war and we will definitely fight it together and win.
