Hello Accessindia, Some of you must have come across a recent NDTV news report, which tells us about a case of a mentally-challenged girl being sexually harassed in some institution for the mentally-challenged women in Gaziabad. The issue is, and must be, a matter of great concern for each one of us. Like it or not, several visually challenged girls also are being victimised of such malpractices in several institutions. In Delhi, for instance, we often hear about such cases in many hostels for college-going visually challenged girls in muffled voices.
In this list, we have many people who are working for NGOs and various other kinds of such activities. Therefore, I find this list a very significant plateform for the discussion of issues of an extreme concern like this. I strongly feell, and would like to assert, that there must be some law or some kind of code of conduct to prevents such instances of the visually challenged women's sexual harassments. Therefore, I would like to have a discussion on this matter in the list. Regards, Smriti. Smriti Singh Programme: M.
