Bhopal Woman Got 118 Stitches On Her Face For Resisting Eve Teasing. Women’s Safety Is A Joke In This Country

Staring, making lewd gestures, passing comments, and whistling… most women experience eve-teasing while walking on the road because men just don’t know how to behave around women. Some choose to ignore it, but some do give it back. Public sexual harassment is a common occurrence in a woman’s life. But the question still remains, do women feel safe enough to retaliate in these situations? Some incidents put forth these dilemmas in front of a woman. A similar one from Bhopal was reported where a courageous woman stood up against her eve-teasers but it resulted in her getting injured and having to get 118 stitches on her face.  

Crimes Against Women Family

The incident took place in TT Nagar’s Roshanpura area in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh on Thursday. As per an ANI report, the woman was standing in front of a hotel when a group of men passed some obscene comments about her. She slapped one of the accused two to three times for the behaviour. The men left after the locals intervened, however in no time they returned and slashed the woman’s face with a blade. The reports reveal that the men attacked her from behind and she did not get the chance to even defend herself.

The woman has got 118 stitches in her surgery. According to a news report, the police have said that she cannot speak currently and is unable to open one of her eyes. 

The police have registered an FIR, and two of the accused- Badshah Beg and Ajay alias Bitti Sibde have been taken into custody. As per reports, the search for the third attacker is still ongoing.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, Shivraj Singh Chouhan visited the victim’s house to meet her. During the meeting, he assured the family of financial support for the treatment by the state government. In a tweet, the CM appreciated the woman’s courage and said that she is an inspiration for other women. Talking about the arrests, he wrote that the officials have been directed to take the strictest actions against them, and no accused will be spared for the crime.

What is with these men who cannot take a NO from women and turn into absolute monsters? There are many women who do not speak up against ever-teasing and sexual harassment because of fear of being retaliated against with such assaults, acid attacks, and more unspeakable things that men can do to harm them. This woman’s bravery should inspire many of us to speak up, but the consequences of it could also demotivate women from doing so. What will then help is how swiftly and effectively justice is delivered in this case to show that if women stand up for themselves, the country will back them up and that women’s safety is given more heed in our country.
