Ladies Compartment

Usually I go office in afternoon, but sometimes I have to come in morning my mode of transportation is a public vehicle. Whenever I came in morning by bus I often witness rather unpleasant occurrence in the bus and what is the occurrence?
It is the use of ladies compartment by men in rush hour. First my confession, I have been using public transport for ten fifteen years but I hardly use ladies compartment in those years if there is emergency I still refrain to do that.
Now the real issue, it is quiet distress to see that men use ladies seats blatantly as if there is no harm. Their excuse is that they have to reach office in time and there is dearth of public transport so they have to travel in this way, but the matter of fact that only those travel in this way, who want to travel otherwise, there is plenty of people who don’t do that. My argument is that why women accept this situation, men are exploiting this opportunity. Why women suffer this, well in our society apparently no one seem to bother about it (though I can bet, everyone notice the situation) until situation gets worse. You could ask me why don’t you protest? My response is it I do but little bit, again men have excuses, it is the compulsory duty of government to implement such law where at least women can travel without the interference of men and above all we are Muslims our teaching demand us to show Sharam and Haya, what if, our own daughter or sister traveling in bus and men standing right beside her? Furious!!!! Yes we need to understand this issue in same meaning.
Another astonishing fact is that I never ever heard any women’s organization or human rights activitist protest on this issue and demand government to work out some kind of plan. My personal view is that because these organizations only demand those problems where western have some reserve viewpoint or may an issue which came to in media then they react like Karokari, Hadood ordinance and so forth. They never campaign against dowry or other unnecessary social rituals.
These organizations top ranking members are those who never travel in any public transport so how can they feel the agony, which middle and lower level class women undergo.
Another party is religious parties they don’t see any thing unIslamic when men travel in ladies compartment they never rally against it after gathering of Juma prayer. Their main concern it how to include religion column in passport.
Recommendations:
-First, there must be some law of if there is law the implementation of such law.
-Severe punishment against violating of law e.g. monetary or three to six months prison.
-There could be separate buses.
-Women’s organizations role for making and executing of law is very important.
-Media role to ask question regarding this problem.
