Re:Transgender Social Worker beaten up and sexually assaulted by RailwayProtection Force Police

[Guest guest]

Dear FORUM,

Re: /message/7195

These incidences are not uncommon. They are happening but mainly untold. It is

good that Anindya put it in the AIDS INDIA forum.

I think there should be an end of it and there must be a limit of tolerance.

Sexual harassment to any person is a heinous crime and the people involved

should be punished in such a way that it becomes a burning example to the

others.

I strongly condemn this ugly act and demanding appropriate punishment of the

criminals without delay.

Ending with a suggestion to Anindya. During the training of the PEs keep

sessions on 'tackling adverse situations in the field' and lessons on some self

defence mechanism (karate, judo) and tricks. Mere advocacy with police may not

be very helpful (I think you have been already done it enough).

All the best,
