Is Women a mere Puppet
I happened to draw a picture based
on the theme women and society. Myself and my husband were at Delhi at that
time. The hot news which spread during that time was the Delhi rape case, when
a 23-year-old female physiotherapy intern was beaten and gang raped in a
private bus in which she was travelling with a male friend. There were six
other people travelling in the bus, including the driver, all of them raped the
woman. She was severely injured, as a 16 year old among those who raped her
used a rod to sexually assault her. Shocking news spread all over the world.
Everyone prayed for her soul, but
as of now the situation still continues in India. Even now it’s difficult for a
woman to travel even in train with police security. Alas, strict measures are
not being taken to ensure better safety. It’s a shame that neither a new
born child nor elderly women are safe.
In my painting “I visualized woman
as a puppet who is bounded by the strings of rapists. Not all of them are so
bold to come out of the physical as well as the mental torture they go through. The other important aspects, men are pictured as fingers that
hold the sting tight. I also drew the means in which women are harassed
like ship (trading), internet. The dark red background explains the terror and
the bloodshed”.
“Women and Society"-
do u recognize me? It’s me a mere women who gave birth to a new “life”
To conclude I would say that
strict laws should be enacted to protect women and children to punish those who commit
crimes like “Rape”.
