Abstract (Original Language):
Sexual harassment and rape are two sides of the same coin. Both showcase the power of man to dominate
that of women. " While a murderer destroys the physical frame of the victim, a rapist degrades and defiles the soul of
a helpless female." Sexual harassment is nothing less than the showcasing of male dominance. For, Nirbhaya's story
doesn't tell women to dread the world because beasts lurk in it, behind trees, beyond each bend, in vehicles with dark
windows. It enjoins us to remake the world so that every member of a long-oppressed sorority can trust it as a
guarantor of equality, security and justice. Our freedom is only half-won unless Nirbhaya's sisters can walk on the
road on a winter night, board the bus that comes along, and find their way home - the way Nirbhaya hoped to.
