Should civil services aspirants focus on awareness rather than knee-jerk changes in anti-rape law

Supreme Court has issued a notice supporting awareness over hasty changes in anti-rape law.
  • Awareness plays a crucial role in preventing crimes like rape by educating individuals about consent, boundaries, and respect.
  • Understanding the root causes of rape and addressing societal attitudes toward gender, sexuality, and power dynamics is essential for long-term prevention.
  • Rather than focusing solely on changing laws, promoting awareness helps in creating a cultural shift towards a more respectful and equitable society.
  • Emphasizing awareness can lead to sustainable changes in behavior and attitudes, reducing the incidence of sexual violence in the long run.
  • While legal reforms are important, they should be complemented by comprehensive awareness campaigns to address the underlying issues that contribute to rape culture.
