Why is the SC notice regarding anti-rape law emphasizing awareness over knee-jerk changes

The SC notice advocates for awareness-building rather than immediate changes to the anti-rape law for effective reforms.
  • Awareness is crucial to ensure proper understanding of the existing anti-rape laws and their implications.
  • Knee-jerk changes may lead to hasty decisions that could have unintended consequences on the legal system.
  • Building awareness can empower people to report incidents of sexual violence and seek justice through the existing legal framework.
  • It allows for a more comprehensive approach to addressing the root causes of sexual violence and implementing sustainable reforms.
  • Awareness campaigns can help in changing societal attitudes towards rape and support victims in coming forward to seek help.
