India not safe for women

India is not a safe place for women anymore. The present rape laws should be amended. Minors (juveniles) should be given the same punishment as those of adults.
There shouldn’t be any differences between juveniles and adults. After all, both of them have committed the same crime by ruining the life of a woman. Its high time women in India are not treated like sex toys but are respected and treated with dignity.
The death of the British woman, Suzette Jordan on March 14, 2015 shall always remind us of our failure to protect the dignity and honour of a woman who stood tall in the wake of her fight with the system. She refused to hide her identity and was raped in India. Her contention that it's time for rapists to hide their faces and not their victims hold true. She tried to show a mirror to our society which shamelessly criticizes women for their attire, dresses or their chosen timing to go out.
Suzette Jordan not only refused to be cowed down by irreverent attitude of the government of Kolkata where she was raped but defied orthodox and outdated methods of social blackmail by hiding her name.
She left behind two daughters whose future seems uncertain because she was a single mother. Her fight is unfinished and her daughters intend to carry on with her unfinished fight.
If there was any need to support any cause, this is the cause which our women's organization and other NGOs must undertake and start a fund to take care of her daughters and their fight.
Our nation shall ever be indebted to such a brave women who made a difference to how we should look at rape victims.
India hated Suzette Jordan just because she was fighting for justice. India raped her and never gave her justice even when she died.
I feel disgusted to call myself an Indian.
