Women’s safety, or rather the lack of it, is the most debated debacle of our times. Yes, there are laws and legislation that are being passed every day but the ground reality is far from being ideal.

The last time I checked, my newsfeed was still riddled with stories of rape/ molestation/ harassment and honestly, it has only crippled whatever little was left of our faith in law and order. But fortunately, we have heroes who not only beat odds but inspire others by setting an example while doing so! In fact, I’m going to introduce you to one…

It so happened that Subhashani, a resident of Goa was strolling by the beach when a creep grabbed her butt and breast. But like they say, sometimes you have to be your own hero and that’s exactly what she did. Read her entire Facebook post about the ordeal here.

Beware of this guy. I can still feel his hand, it hurts on my right breast and my right arm hurts but that I don’t mind because I really gave it back to him. 
At around 9:15 pm last night, me and a friend were walking from Oshoanic towards Sea Horse. Quite close to the shoreline as we just about crossed Laughing Buddha, I noticed 3 men heading our way and they were acting funny. From my experience, I already knew what might happen and so I just pulled my friend slightly out of the way. 2 of the guys quickly changed path and as they came next to me, one of them brushed his hand against my thigh, quickly grabbed my right butt and as I turned he grabbed my breast and started running.
Within seconds I started running after him. His friends abandoned him and ran towards the parking lot while he kept running on the beach. I was a bit slow as I had a heavy bag with me but my eyes were locked on him and I was shouting both in English and Hindi for people to stop him. He decided to mix amongst people and sat on the beach pretending to enjoy the waves. As he saw me approach him, he knew that I recognize him, he started running again. I was running and shouting to people to stop him. A few fishermen and people on the beach ran and got hold of him. We caught him near Pacha.
Yes, I beat him up and so did the others. He said he’s from Karnataka. As I slapped and punched him, he started apologizing and had the nerve to call me sister. That made me cringe even more and I used my knee twice and punched a few times on his penis and balls. He was hurting. My friend took his picture. One of his excuses was that he was drunk. But no, he was not drunk and for me, that is no excuse. The locals also hit him and told him that he made a mistake by doing this in Arambol.
Later I met another lady who saw the picture of this man and she said that the same guy misbehaved with her on Holi. I am happy for what I did. I have a sore arm, lost one of my contact lenses. I don’t enjoy hitting people as I have done that enough in Delhi so I avoid but sometimes it’s the only way. And please do not ask me to let go and forgive. In that moment all the times that I have experienced sexual abuse in my life came back and I could feel all the hands on my body at the same time. Men like him are giving a bad name to the men in my country. This is not Indian culture, for that matter, it shouldn’t be any culture. Ladies, start raising an alarm, don’t be scared to call out such men.

 

She also told Storypick that while there was no police case or cops involved, the guy paid for what he did. Letting an advice for fellow women she added, “In a crowded space or public area, don’t hesitate to ask for help and make sure to shout as loud as you can. If you feel that the place is isolated then make sure to look for a safe space. You’ll be surprised that there are people who will be forthcoming and help you.”

“Be alert. Be aware of who is walking in front, back or on the side and who is approaching you. Keep your ears open to the noises and voices around you.”

Now that’s a lesson. Both for men and women out there!
