Goa Women’s Forum wrote to Goa Governor Ms Mridula Sinha over the inaction of Government agencies against escort service Websites promoting sex tourism in Goa. While reviewing the steps taken by the government and the police, Sinha said, “Goa is one of the safest places for women. The legal mechanism for tackling this issue should be strengthened.” Yes and should be done, soon.
We lobby for stronger enforcement of federal anti-trafficking laws, which make sex tourism a crime, to shut them down. Who can women turn to? Who can women trust? We all are accountable to unite, to end violence against women. The right to live a life free from violence is a right that all women must demand a right that all must accord them and all governments too. Women are to be protected and cherished; to be respected; to be treated lovingly and compassionately; our women are not to be abused and mistreated. Women are the corner stone’s of our families. They are the fabric that holds families together. States must treat violence against women as a gender-based human rights violation, sex tourism is; violence against women. The figures tell of psychological, physical and even lethal abuse, sometimes over long periods of time. The only possible stance is zero tolerance. Action needs to be taken by both Central and local governments in any country and stop promoting sex tourism…..A big offence against your sisters and mother. Women are one of God’s most beautiful gifts and treasures to all .God created women to be our companions our mates equal in all areas. Women help men to learn to be compassionate, loving, caring, nurturing, protective and strong then why abuse them? Women can bring out the best qualities and have the tremendous insight, and are capable of bringing calmness and peace to many situations. Their ability to tap into the emotional and realistic side of any situation is a benefit that all can truly learn from them.
We should give them our all, and protect them as we would protect ourselves. It is absolutely weak and despicable to physically, mentally, or emotionally hurt or abuse a woman. We should remember that it is women who keep our legacies moving forward as they bring our children into this world. We must love our women with every fabric of our being.
Why not be pro women government stop the abuse and mistreatment of our women. We are supposed to stand up and protect them, not demean them; not to humiliate or injure them and listen to them, when they say “We want no more commodification of our bodies or our lives!”
