Reported violence against women is the proverbial tip of the iceberg,it conceals more than it reveals.
But what it reveals can sometimes shock the collective conscience of a nation, especially a heinous crime that plays out in broad daylight as an assault on a young woman.
Last week’s incident of violence in Chennai,where college student Satyapriya was decapitated as a young man pursuing her romantically pushed her in the path of an outcoming train did no less tug at the heartstrings of the public.
The incidents of violence against women in train stations in Chennai are following a nearly copycat pattern after Swathi ,a young techie was murdered in 2016,in broad daylight by a man,who was again stalking her, in a railway station.
In 2021, a Swetha a young college goer was murdered near a suburban train station by a man in a ‘troubled relationship’ with her.
In each of these cases,the inability of the stalker to accept the fact that his overtures were turned down by the girl directly led to the violence.
Earlier this month ,an eight year old girl in Delhi was kidnapped, sexually assaulted and murdered.
In September,the bodies of two teenage girls were found in Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh.
In the chequered history of handling the many forms of violence against women in India ,the horrific Nirbhaya Rape of 2012 is a definitive milestone.
It rocked the nation with such force that lawmakers rushed to strengthen laws,and put in place systems and infrastructure that were meant to ensure such dreadful incidents are never repeated.
The sustainable development goals underline the importance of building safe,resilent and inclusive cities from a gender lens.
