Muzaffarpur Scandal: Sonu Nigam Feels Sex Education in Schools, Legalisation of Prostitution Will Curb Increasing Rapes in India

India has been seeing a spate of rape incidents in recent times, with the most horrific being Bihar's Muzaffarpur shelter home rapes. As per a recent poll by Reuters, India tops the list of countries unsafe for women in the world - a verdict the government of India doesn't agree with. With rapes and sexual assaults happening every day and worrying the hell out of us, the administrators are trying to find ways to curb this increasing frequency one of the vilest crimes known to humanity.

Recently in an interview to Republic TV, singer Sonu Nigam told the channel that proper sex education to boys in school is the need of the hour. He said, "What has been exposed in Muzaffarpur, is perhaps only the tip of the iceberg. In a country as big as India with such Dynamic contrast between living standards and thinking standards, one can very easily believe that there are thousands of such cases that go unreported and unexposed. I can perhaps write a book on what needs to be done and how this perversion can be contained. But for now, all I can say is this kind of gender exploitation can only end or be curtailed through a very open and healthy and matter of fact doze of apt and Optimum sex education in all schools throughout the country and that too in a very uniform way."

He also said legalising prostitution could help in the matter. Sonu continued, "Also, time to legalize prostitution. I was in the very famous city of Amsterdam 2 days back where it is so normal to see women scantily dressed, in a controlled legalized area designated for prostitution. And apparently, the country does not require a huge police force because there is hardly any crime whether robbery or Heist or rape! On the other hand, I see women and transgenders openly standing around 4 bungalows area in Andheri or in Juhu, and yet prostitution is not legal." Read the complete interview here.
