In New Dehli, a new law legislation passed will serve as a means of punishing perpetrators of crimes against women. A speaker, Meira Kumar, said that last december a bill for violence issues relating to women was introduced, and now this law is able to help ensure offenders will be prosecuted. Kumar was the chief guest at the Border Security Force Raising day celebration where she gave an address that also praised efforts of bringing women into security forces. Border security will now induct women into their forces for the first time in 2014. Kumar thanked the BSF for changing with changing times as they have allowed women to be admitted into the force and fulfill once only men held positions.
1. What type of justice is now being fulfilled by this new legislation passed that protects women and punished perpetrators of violent crimes against women?
2. What human rights were being violated before the BSF allowed to admit women into their forces?
The events in India to include laws that prevent rape definitely protects the rights of women to thrive in society. There have been many cases regarding the rape of women in public as well as private places throughout India. However, new laws that prosecute rapists will deter violation of women in India. The implementation of these laws in society relate to article 3 of the Universal Human declaration of rights, which claims that all people have the right to live, liberty, and security. Therefore, the use of laws that prosecute rapists is a long time justice, ensuring the life and security if everyone in society. Also women have been given the opportunity to serve in the department of security. This action symbolizes that women are no longer dependent of men for their security and have the right to protect themselves from danger. However, rather than implementing laws that increase the security and freedom of women, the spread of information regarding the severity of the problem of rape would also be effective in eventually eliminating the problem of violence in India.
