Rishina Kandhari is furious and shattered to hear about the recent rape cases.

She asks, “Where are we heading as a society? In the last couple of years, rape cases have increased in the country. Why? Because it takes a very long time for the victim to get justice. We talk about gender equality, and woman empowerment, but reading about such cases makes me question ‘Where are we heading as a nation and as a society?’ Why can’t we make our country safe for women? Women safety issues need to be addressed at the root level, how difficult can it be?”
