Women (girls) in India - 2021, Kalai Selvi Arivalagan [good books to read in english txt] 📗

Recently the incidents that circulate in the media convey the message that not even a single place could assure safety for women.  This shows that girls today need to be alert every second of the day and also know how to handle delicate situations without any fear.

Girls must be trained to protect themselves against any violence or injury inflicted upon them.  Parents must teach them to act smart and learn to face tough situations.  Tough situations can be there not only at work place or home or in places away from home.  Tough situations can prevail anywhere they go. 

Teach your girls to be open and discuss things frankly with you.  This will definetely help you to guide them in a better way. 

Whatever that has been happening here is not something to rejoice.  Alarming increase in crime rates against girls is the latest media report. Girls in their tender age were abused, raped and murdered to send across a warning or a threat for the community where the girls lived.

Present days are quite challenging not only for women but also for adolescent girls, girls in their teens, girls who have not yet passed the girlhood days.  Education has provided the girls with more opportunities to win and live with all comforts. Together with this opportunity comes the challenges also.

In spite of awareness regarding safety, girls still face hurdles at all levels.  Schools conduct Karate classes to help girls to be strong enough to face any delicate situation.

The wide expansion of social media has now become a threat to girls of today.  An Indian parent protects a girl child by not allowing her to go out of home unnecessarily.  Yet, the social media that has come inside a protected home through the mobile phones.  

As technology grows, parents need to tackle situations that are never thought of or never likely to happen.  A day has come here for the girl children to be intelligent enough to handle any delicate situation that crops up unaware.  It is not only her nails and fingers that could protect her from unexpected dangers.  It is also the presence of mind that can help them to be safe.
