Twinkle Khanna says 'we are teaching our daughters the same things'

Ina seperate post a few days ago, she added that even after fifty years on this planet, people are teaching their daughters the same things she was taught as a child such as don’t go alone. To the park, to school, to work. Don’t go alone with any man, even if it’s your uncle, cousin or friend. Don’t go alone in the morning or evening, and especially not at night. Don’t go alone because it’s not a matter of if, but when. Don’t go alone because you may never come back.

Twinkle concluded, “It is time to ensure that laws are enforced and followed, guaranteeing safety measures for women in public spaces instead of confining us at home. Till then, I suppose it is safer for the strees (women) of this country to encounter a ghost in a dark alley than a man.”
