Women Atrocities

India is still developing in terms of technology, economy and very far behind in thinking. And most of the crime happens in India, especially related women. It is very ashamed to tell that the country's people involves in the crime. Like, abuse women, sexual harassment, rape.

Conflicts between rights of women and the rest of the world

Women Empowerment has been a part of countless political discussions in India. But, where does India actually stand when it involves the Rights of Women? Especially once we compare ourselves to the remainder of the world? To begin with... it’s only fair to say that on paper, we look really, really good! India has passed a lot of specific laws for women that protect them from: Sati, Dowry, Sexual Harassment, Child Marriage.

According to reports, there are over 2000 cases of female foeticide that happen every day! And that’s the reason our sex ratio is skewed to 943 women to 1000 men. To put that in perspective, our sex ratio is lower than countries like Uganda, Turkey, Mozambique and much more. Even though we've of these laws – there are still over 34,000 cases of rape that happen in India per annum. That’s 93 rapes a day! 4 rapes an hour! …. a rape every 15 minutes. And these are just the cases that get reported...… And we haven’t even touched on the number of sexual harassments, abuse, female foeticide, and honor killings that occur every day! This makes us the 4th most dangerous country for women in the world. We have gotten the right laws in place-except marital rape...! It’s now on the govt to form the enforcement agencies seem more approachable except for us, the primary step is to be informed!  Step two: Is to inform those who wouldn’t have access to such information at all! Because you cannot defend your rights, if you do not know them. And if you're still struggling, these are institutions which will assist you get justice. So, what do you think? Are we better than the rest of the world or do we have a long way to go?

Protection under the Constitution of India

We live in a shady and tousled world, where lifetime of an individual is removed by a beloved, where goddesses are worshipped while women are harassed. The only thanks to keep an eye fixed on such horrific happenings is to form laws and rules. Most people are unaware of their legal rights. Here are some legal rights that a woman gets in INDIA. When a lady goes to a police headquarters without being amid a lawyer, she is either quoted wrong, ignored or humiliated for her statements. She should be aware of the fact that she has right to get legal aid. Under the LEGAL SERVICE AUTHORITIES ACT, female rape victims have right to get legal aid or help from authority to arrange a lawyer for her.
