Dear Smriti Singh, The issue that you have raised is really a burning issue. Even in this age of Technology and economic growth, it is a shame that we are still witnessing harassment, exploitation and sexual abuse of women in general and visually impaired women in particular.I am sure you all will agree that our entire system is man-oriented and man-dominated and the case of visually impaired women is no exception to this. I was indeed disturbed by the fact that visually impaired women in some hostels in Delhi and other places are being exploited. Nothing comes free in this world. You have to fight for equality, equity and justice. We have no. of enlightened ladies in the group like Nafissa, Geetha, Anjali, Shalini, etc. I suggest that these ladies should put in place an orgn. or a system to take up advocacy in the welfare of visually impaired women in gen. and against any exploitation of any kind of visually impaired women in particular. We should support this venture and extend all our co-operation. With all the welfare measures for visually impaired, on account of my involvement with no. of NGOs engaged in blind welfare activities, 2 things I have realised. Firstly, we need to do a lot more for womenfolk & secondly for multiple handicap. With all the commitment & support the men can extend, women will have to unite & fight against exploitation of women. Can we do something in this regard?
