Barasat, which boasts a shopping mall, a KFC restaurant and a growing number of women in the workplace, is a typical, if modest Indian economic success story. But it is typical of urban India in another way, too: Here and nationwide, women say harassment of women is a fixture of daily life.
巴拉萨特有一家购物中心和一家肯德基(KFC),工作场所也出现了越来越多的女性。该地区在经济上取得的成功(即便只是一般的成功)算得上是印度的一个典型。此外,它在另一个方面也是印度各城市的典型──在这儿以及印度各地,女性们都表示性骚扰已成为她们日常生活中的常事。
In December, India's climate of sexual violence burst onto the world's consciousness after a young woman on a bus in New Delhi was so brutally gang-raped and assaulted that she died of her injuries. That attack provoked nationwide protests and prompted national introspection about the broader spectrum of harassment─from stalking to groping─that often goes unpunished and can lead to more aggravated assault, experts say.
去年12月,继一名在新德里搭乘巴士的年轻女孩因遭到残忍的轮奸和殴打而受伤去世之后,国际社会突然意识到了印度的性暴力风气。此次暴力事件在全印度引发了抗议活动,促使印度国民开始反思性骚扰的问题──从跟踪到抚摸身体,性骚扰的形式越来越多样,而且据专家们称,这些行为常常不会遭到惩罚,因而可能会引发更加恶劣的侵犯。
