The Women's Commission of Andhra Pradesh wants to distribute knives to college girls so that they can protect themselves from crimes like rape.
The panel's chairperson Nannapaneni Rajakumari, who turned emotional after meeting two rape victims in a government hospital in Visakhapatnam, also said rapists should be "skinned" and "paraded" in public. "We are planning to enact a legislation. When some men behave like wild animals and resort to such atrocious acts, I think there is a need to equip girls with knives. A law is needed for this," she told reporters.
