Sexual harassment: No woman should be born in India, prays a lady IAS officer

Women in India face harassment at every step and even IAS officers are prone to the problem that common female citizens of the country are facing.

The men get away with their crime because women in India shy away from filing charges against those who abuse them because of the concern, “What would people say?” Even if they gather courage to approach the authorities, they fail to get desired and prompt response.

Riju Bafna, a young IAS officer has filed charges against an activist for sexual harassment. She shared her experience in a Facebook post how a judicial magistrate and a lawyer acted insensitively while she was recording her statement.
