As a father, the attack at Raptadu school has left me deeply shaken. Praying to God for both girls’ speedy and complete recovery, and strength for their families. The young girl who stepped in to protect her friend showed rare and extraordinary courage. She deserves our deepest respect and recognition. Grateful to the doctors for their lifesaving care, and to the Andhra Pradesh government, police and medical teams who coordinated the green corridor and transfer for advanced treatment. Glad to see that 20 mental health counsellors have been deployed for the affected students. Please ensure sustained support reaches every child, teacher and family affected by this trauma. This is not just one person and one crime. When women are objectified and disrespected, even casually, even for fun, inside homes and in society, it shapes dangerous attitudes. Objectifying women is harmful. There must be consequences for harassment and violence, and everyday disrespect must be challenged firmly. Respect for women begins at home. Our children are watching. The society we want starts with how we treat women at home and in our communities. Let us build that safer society together. 🙏🏻
