I was grieved and outraged after the recent gang-rape of the 23 year old photojournalist at Shakti Mills, Mumbai. Even though the police action against the accused was prompt, our city needs to prevent such incidents.
This year, more than 200 rapes have already been reported in Mumbai. I believe it’s time the Maharashtra Government announced a holistic action plan to prevent rape and sexual harassment in this city.
As citizens, it is our responsibility to ensure that immediate steps are taken to prevent incidents of violence against women in this city.
That's why
I support this petition that urges Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Prithviraj Chavan, to make a comprehensive action plan that ensures safety for women in Mumbai.
Violence against women in Mumbai has to be eradicated through an intensive all round strategy involving all departments and coming up with plans to deal with prevention, justice and reformative actions.
Mr. Chavan has the power to put in place a comprehensive action plan that makes our city a safe space for women to live in. If enough of us
sign this petition, it will make a strong argument to put in place such a plan.
Naresh, Join me in urging Chief Minister, Mr Chavan, to put in place an action plan that ensures women's safety in Mumbai.
Sign this petition and
forward my mail to your friends and family asking them to join our fight to end violence against women in Mumbai.
Thanks in advance for taking action,
Rahul Bose via Change.org
