Answer 1

The two main types of security that we needa are

Human Security: The human security approach broadens the
scope of security analysis and policy from territorial security to the security of people.Human security relates to much more than security from violence and crime. Security of people’s include livelihoods economic, food, environment or health security might apply a human security approach Human security can also be used to look into personal, community and political security. Thus human security is important to protect the right of people ie. Human being form criminals, violence, harassment, starvation, poverty etc.

Women Security: Women are at risk of violence both in public and private spheres, in and around the home, in neighbourhoods and at city level. Risk is influenced by urban design choices and the organisation of public services including transport and energy, amongst other things. Women experience a higher degree of insecurity which can restrict their access and “use of the city”. Many women and girls face domestic violence not only in their homes and in relationships, but also in public spaces due to poor choices in urban design and poor management of those spaces. In practical terms this can relate to factors such as inadequate street lighting, unsafe underpasses, ineffective community policing and lack of rehabilitation programmes for those involved in antisocial use of public spaces. During times of conflict or social unrest, those factors can further exacerbate the risk of gender-based violence. So women security is must and important to protect them from gender base violence, child abuse, rape, harassment, domestic voliance etc.
