Declaring that enough is enough, President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday said it is time for India to wake up to the perversion of crimes against women and counter the mindset that sees women as less powerful, less capable, less intelligent.

“Those who share such views then go further and see the female as an object. We owe it to our daughters to remove the hurdles from their path of winning the freedom from fear,” Murmu said.  Referring to the August 9 rape and murder of a junior doctor in Kolkata, president said what is even more depressing is that it is part of a series of crimes against women.
