Though Kavitha’s harasser has been given a warning and is now blocked on Facebook, but Kavitha still feels unsafe due to the fact that some people can go to monstrous limits to take revenge from women and in the recent times, people have done some really horrible things to them.
Do you think Kavitha has taken the right steps? Is it bad for a woman to fight for her rights and respect?
