We come across media reports about how some pregnant or sick woman is carried to hospital on carts, rickshaws, and sometimes even by simply hands of their family members. As per such reports, this happens because the women and their family are poor and sometimes the hospitals are corrupt who do not allow them access to ambulances. But we never come across news showing some man also being carried in similar manner, although it is quite common for sick or injured men also being carried in an improper manner to hospital.
The above picture published in today's Daink Bhaskar came to my attention and made me think abut all the gender biased media reports I have been seeing which try to depict only female victims as real victims and similar things happening to men are never reported. The above picture just got reported along with the main news about the loot.
