Women's Rights 6p.m. to 6a.m.


just got this piece of news.

A young girl was raped by a man posing as a plain
clothes
officer; he asked her to come to the police station when
she and her
male friend didn't have a driver`s license to show.

He sent the boy off to get his license and asked the girl
to accompany
him to the police station.
Took her instead to an isolated area where the horrendous
crime was
committed.

In fact, the law clearly states that between 6 pm and 6am,
a woman has
the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an
arrest
warrant has been issued against her .

It is a procedural issue that a woman can be arrested
between 6pm and
6 am, ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer and taken
to an ALL
WOMEN police station.

And if she is arrested by a male officer, it has to be
proven that a
woman officer was on duty at the time of arrest.

It is good for us to know our rights.
To what extent it comes of use remains to be seen in any
situation.
But as they say, knowledge is power.

Just thought I`d share this with you.

p/s : please share this news to every women that we care about in life.
