Happy New Year 2013 | Let's promote Responsible Citizenship

It's a matter of great discomfort that we, the largest democracy, have not yet been able to safeguard the people's basic human rights on various fronts. While we must continue demanding better measures from the Government, we also need to contribute our bit at personal levels to make this world a better place.   

Violence against women is a Global Scandal..... a Human Rights Violation.... Happening Everywhere.... Everyday !!!  
But, it does has solution and it starts with keeping the promises to create a world where women are assured and respected.
  • Let's pledge to spread out the message in our personal and professional lives, that violence against women is NOT acceptable, NEVER excusable and NEVER tolerable.
  • Let's commit ourselves to progressive efforts and activism that place violence against women and girls as a public issue, not a private matter, which exists as a consequence of gender discrimination at all levels of society.
  • Let's sensitise and ensure that the message of ‘zero tolerance’ is heard far and wide.
