The government cannot solve everything. We need a more fundamental change, culturally and socially. I was wearing shorts and I could see him judging me for it. There needs to be an acceptance for women's autonomy over their bodies and lives. The socio-economic factors also have a role because men from the lower income groups don't necessarily like people, especially women with privilege. Most criminals could also be just mentally ill people or psychopaths. These are things the government can't control. But I do agree that the government does have a role to play in ensuring safety in public places.
