RESEARCH ISSUE: Women's Safety:
Sexual Harassment and Domestic Violence
Rationale:
Since the break of civilization, women have faced dangers of all kinds. Male, being the dominant part the society, have always portrayed women as the inferior sex. The issue of Women Safety is a rampant dilemma all around the world regardless of the developed or the developing state of the countries. There is enough awareness amongst the people but in spite of this, nothing significant is being done. The governments have passed laws and acts to suppress the problem but this seldom has stopped it. But as people have become more educate d over time, there has been some improvement. Women now aren’t afraid to exercise their rights and take actions; and people now aren’t afraid to pressurize the government to take actions and create havoc.
Aims of the Project:
We had four main aims in mind when we started with this issue:
1) The atrocity of the Delhi gang-rape motivated us to find out more about this issue in the world
2) We wanted to determine the position of women in different countries in the world.
3) We wanted to compare the severity of this problem in an MEDC and an LEDC.
4) We also wanted to create as much awareness as we can.
Intended outcome:
Our intended outcome is an informative word document talking about the rape and domestic violence in US, Afghanistan and India. We also designed 4 posters which highlights the importance of the topic and creates awareness amongst the people. One of our poster also talks about the ways a woman/girl can defend her and prevent such traumatic suffering. We kept the posters on display, visible to everyone. We also interviewed a victim of Domestic violence and we realized that the reality is much brutal and worse.
Posters
From the very beginning, we unanimously decided that making posters was the most creative medium of conveying our message. We made 4 posters, from scratch, portraying awareness and reaching out to people in a sympathetic way. We also share some safety tips for women and girls all around through one of our posters. We put them on display such that they are visible to everyone.
