Calling for a change in mindset, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, it is ridiculous to claim that a woman's attire is the reason behind a rape. She questioned, if dress is the reason, then why do elderly women or a toddler get sexually abused. The minister was at an event organised by industry lobby FICCI. She said law agencies need to be more proactive in providing safety to women. "Out of every 10 such incidents, seven are committed by people who know the victim -- relative, friends, neighbour. Law enforcement agencies need to be far more proactive, I concede all that," she said. Sitharaman addressed 'Stories That Matter'-- an event organised at FICCI and released the Gender Parity Survey Report. -- ANI
