Anti-rape law alone can't check rapes

I feel mentality of men towards women is more or less same all over the world. It's only one's sanskaars and fear of law that prevent one from casting an evil eye on an unsuspecting girl or woman. In case of India, the absence of a culture of respect for women is an irony because so many of our festivals revolve around goddesses. We must not forget that any lone girl or woman has the beasts waiting for her. To stop these beasts in their tracks, apart from the strong anti-rape law, enacted recently, we also need to inculcate a culture for respect of women and girls.
