Yes! Advisory for women to prevent rapes! Let me see...should women lock themselves in their houses? Oh wait a minute. Even then, they might not be safe! Cases of abuse at home by family members are rampant too. So, should we just stop living? Easier?

SHE was doing everything by the book. Everything we consider "safe" and "acceptable". It wasn't "too late" in the night. SHE was dressed ''decently". SHE was not "drunk". SHE didn't get into a "fight". @hydcitypolice. It's the police force that needs some training and advisories

None of the tips include a to- do list for men . Is the safety of women the responsibility of women only? #PriyankaReddyMurderCase https://t.co/feGXfu1AXu

Hyderabad police issues advisory to all women.???..wtf. Why only Women... even bloody Men & Boys should:

1. Inform family/friends about their dirty intentions.

2. Share the location where their mind gets corrupted with dirty thoughts.

3. Keep away from possible easy rape victims.
