Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the education of the girl child is the key to women empowerment.

Condemning the anti-rape statements given by the political leaders in the country, Prime Minister Modi in an interview with CNN said, "More damage is done by statements made by the politicians. The dignity of a woman is our collective responsibility. The main issue is the education of the girl child. By doing so, the possibility of empowerment of women will increase."

In his speech on Independence Day, Prime Minister Modi had condemned the increasing incidents of sexual violence against females.

The Prime Minister had also pressed upon the need for parents to keep a check on the actions of their sons along with their daughters.

"Parents ask their daughters hundreds of questions, but have any parents ever dared to ask their son as to where he is going, why he is going out, who his friends are. After all, a rapist is also somebody`s son. He also has parents. As parents, have we ever asked our son as to what he is doing and where he is going. If every parent decides to impose as many restrictions on the sons as have been imposed on our daughters, try to do this with your sons, try to ask such questions of them," he had said.
