On 25th Mar 2009 , Jia from radio 92.7 called me up to air me on their channel on the radio. The agenda was – sharing of some tips on Women Protection to her listeners, as the assialants of Saumya Vishwanathan & Jignisha Ghosh had been absconded the previous day – was it the victory or just another facet of cruel, violent urbanisation?? Whatever it is, till such time the judgement & that too a very stern one is released the sound would not make enough resonance, the sound of fight against crime, in the mean time we can not afford to sit back & be could’nt careless about it. Eventually, we have to come to our own rescue unders such situations.
On the radio – I shared an important aspect of Women Protection which is – understanding ranges & zones :
- Safe Zone – The radius of approximately 2 mtrs all around you from where no one can harm you using his/her arms & legs even if fully exetended towards you.
- Danger Zone – The radius once breached & the range is reduced becomes a danger zone and you may be attacked, molested. chain-snatched by an assailant.
So wherever you are be careful & sensitive about your safe zone , do not let anyone come nearer than that as a habit (data proves that 80% of all assialnts were known to victims, so you know….).
Till next time – Think , Act & Be Safe
