"Need To Teach Boys To Respect Women": High Court On Sex Assault Cases
NDTV
Badlapur Sexual Assault Case: Two kindergarten students were allegedly sexually abused by a school attendant. The incident triggered huge protests with the state government assuring strict action against the culprit.
The mindset of boys needs to be changed and they need to be taught to respect women, the Bombay High Court advised today while hearing a petition on the case of sexual assault on two four-year-olds inside their school in Maharashtra's Badlapur.
"You need to change the mindset of the boys when they are young. Teach them to respect the other gender, respect women," said a division bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Prithiviraj Chavan.
The court, that was hearing the case taken up suo moto (on its own), said that "male chauvinism" persists in our society and that nothing will change until children are taught about equality.
