It is a paradox that India has a rich culture of worshipping female goddesses and deities but violence is exerted on women in all walks of life. From Nirbhaya to Disha, and more recently the brutality at Hathras, stands as a testimony to the continuing brutality against women. As a society, every time we seem to be hitting new lows. The antidote to this lies in right education. In this context, educating and sensitising youth and making them aware of gender issues is very important.
