K Guruvayya, Muttagudam village, Kammam district, Andhra Pradesh, says, “A man in our neighbourhood tried to rape a woman in our area. People in the neighbourhood saved her in time. All of us gathered and lodged a police complaint. We even regularly went for court hearings. The man’s family tried to bribe some of us but none of us accepted their offer. My daughter was an eye witness of the event and the man’s family used to threaten me often and frighten me by saying that they would kidnap my daughter. But I remained steadfast. Because of all our efforts, the man is in jail. Every woman deserves a life of security. Every one of us needs to ensure this.”
