In support of outpouring public anger against the ghastly incident that has left everyone shaken and distressed, a valiant Presidian, Riya of class VIII voiced her opinion on this issue on Indias leading news channel- NDTV. She asserted that our society at large need to change and instead of condemning the rape victims, they should extend all support to them. Moreover, she strongly raised a valid question that – Why is eve teasing not considered to be very serious sexual crime in a country where women are worshipped as Durga and Lakshmi, Indian goddesses. Her call for action definitely prompted the need for changing culture in India where women are not routinely devalued rather given stature of reverence and respect. Kudos to the young Presidian , who proved from her stand that she is truly a Leader of Tomorrow.
