In an article on @YourStoryCo, Elsa Marie D'Silva visualises how India can do better in women's safety.

She recommends that everyone firmly agrees that everyone has a right to be safe & be active bystanders that intervene in sexual violence, instead of being perpetrators.

The government must also ensure that legislation against sexual violence is enforced, police stations are safe & welcoming for women to make complaints, SGBV cases are fast-tracked, & fundings for programmes that educate & advocate for women's rights.

@elsamafiedsilva also recommends that corporations have policies that effectively address sexual harassment at the workplace. The workplace culture should also not be one that promotes a hostile work environment for women.

The Bollywood culture of objectifying women must also stop. Elsa stated that they use their influencing position to portray women in strong roles & in real, everyday roles that give women agency.
