GOD FORBID, if you happen to witness a scene unfurling right before your eyes, may be a murder, a suicide or someone about to die; the memory would stick to you forever, as a trauma. Just imagine a young girl being kidnapped, taken to a desolate area, in the dense forests and raped, she will never be able to forget what she went through. It would indeed be a traumatic experience for her.
Being a male does not mean, you are not at risk. Say, when someone offers a lift and you get inside where the driver, conductor and other friends in the pickup van or a cab at gunpoint demand to hand over whatever you have and if you resist, they will threaten to kill you. You will never forget this incident. Your scars may be recovered but the memories will never be erased from your mind.
Such cases are common with BPO employees and BPO cabs. The cab drivers try to take the young girls on the wrong route and later try to molest them and if they object to their acts, they murder them after rape and sadly, the police are not able to trace the culprits too.
The girl, who was molested, can get rid of the scars, but her mental trauma will never fade away. She will never forget that horror night while returning from her place of work. It is time for the authorities to wake up and take a serious look at the issues, which have threatened the life of girls.
