A number of steps have been taken by the government and many organizations to abolish the prevalent social evils. Many laws have been implemented for the prevention of these acts. But the common people have a role to play. The first step towards mitigation is PUBLIC AWARENESS. Each and every individual must take the oath to do his/her path in abolishing these evils. The public should be aware to report of any such incidence on the respective authority. The victim must raise the voice and resist such acts. Many other such simple steps by a society as a whole can mitigate the social evils and make social life happier.
