Media and public scrutiny are instrumental in holding the government accountable for lapses in addressing women’s safety issues through a multi-faceted approach. By raising awareness, the media ensures that incidents of violence and systemic issues affecting women’s safety are brought to the forefront of public discourse. This constant visibility prevents these issues from being ignored and compels policymakers to take action. Investigative journalism plays a crucial role by uncovering systemic failures, corruption, or negligence within government bodies responsible for women’s safety. These revelations often spark public outcry, increasing pressure on government officials to respond and implement changes. Public scrutiny, amplified through media platforms, mobilizes citizens to demand accountability and reform, creating a groundswell of public opinion that can influence political agendas. Additionally, media platforms provide a voice for victims, activists, and experts, ensuring that diverse perspectives are heard and considered in policy discussions. By highlighting policy shortcomings and advocating for improvements, the media fosters an informed and engaged citizenry. Continuous coverage and follow-up reporting maintain pressure on the government to act, ensuring that women’s safety remains a priority. Furthermore, the media can track the progress of implemented measures, holding officials accountable for their promises and actions. In this way, media and public scrutiny serve as vital checks on government power, driving transparency, accountability, and ultimately, positive change in policies and practices related to women’s safety.

Yes, I believe body positivity is the right cause to promote. The shape, size, and color of a body are beyond the realm of physical health of a person and often, it is beyond one’s control. In a society that centralizes physical beauty, self-image is what makes or breaks a person’s perspective of themselves.
Body positivity not only legitimizes all respective shapes, sizes, and colors but through the process also catalyzes a sense of self-compassion and self-confidence which makes their life easier, in whatever magnitude. Along with inclusivity, body positivity supports diversity which in turn subdues social evils like sexism, colorism, and racism. When an image of a human body is broken down into a myriad of possibilities, generalization and representation take a back seat and every body is equally validated.
Health conditions can be improved by adapting to a healthy lifestyle, but the structure of a human body along with its genetic makeup is beyond repair. In addition to that, each body, irrespective of its status on the health meter, deserves acknowledgment and humanization which is often snatched away by body shaming. An obese body is as human as a mid-size body which again is as human as a lean individual. The same goes for other physical aspects such as the shape, height, and color of a human.
