Quotes
Sarika Paswan
Rashtriya Janata Dal leader who criticized Bihar’s governance and treatment of women’s safety.
“What kind of environment is the present government creating where such men feel empowered to openly violate the dignity and safety of women? When perpetrators believe that they can act with impunity, it reflects not merely an individual failure but a failure of deterrence, policing and governance. The government must answer why women and girls are repeatedly being subjected to such incidents in public spaces.”
