The alarming situation of women’s safety in West Bengal has been a topic of heated discussions. The distressing reality is that incidents of violence against women persist, highlighting a pressing issue that demands attention. Dr. Abhaya, a symbol of hope and resilience, tragically lost her life, which underscores the urgent need for protective measures and societal change.

In recent developments, Dr. Abhaya’s grieving parents sought to honor their daughter’s memory and advocate for justice by organizing a march to Nabanna, the state secretariat. Their bravery in standing against the growing tide of violence is commendable and reflects the desperation for change. However, it’s disheartening to witness the response from the authorities. Instead of offering support and compassion, Mamata Banerjee’s police have been criticized for their lack of empathy in handling such sensitive matters.

Today’s society should prioritize the safety of every individual, particularly women, who face the brunt of societal violence. The need for effective policies and enforcement mechanisms cannot be overstated. Engaging in dialogues around women’s rights and safety is essential to foster a culture of respect and security.

As residents of West Bengal, we must come together to advocate for the safety of our women. It’s time to demand accountability from our leaders and ensure that every voice is heard. The march to Nabanna is not just about Dr. Abhaya; it symbolizes the collective fight against injustice and the need for a safer environment for all women in Bengal.

Let’s work together to create a society where everyone can live freely and without fear.
