Generally speaking, I don't think anything has changed. Men who are well-educated and reasonable continue to be sensitive in dealing with women. But others haven't changed their behavior despite increased media coverage on the issues of gang rape and the discrimination of women.
There are two sides of the coin. It is indeed a positive development that the media have been covering women's issues and the debate surrounding sexual violence. Previously, these reports only made it to page three, now they are front page news. The government has also become more active, even though they mostly just pay lip service.
Media reported every detail of the brutal gang rape on December 16. Don't you think there is a lack of sensitivity towards the victims in these reports?
My answer will be Yes, that's true. Sometimes, there is a lack of sensitivity. It's not that these rapes are a new phenomenon.However, after the gang rape last year and the subsequent protests, more and more cases are being reported and often very aggressively. Indian media organizations are predominantly concerned about ratings and outdoing their competitors, which results in sensationalism. This is wrong.
