Violence, Rape and Assault against Women

ABSTRACT
India is safe for men & women, but the recurring incidents of rapes & sexual assault in India are making
a belief that India is not at all safe for women. For this, the whole nation can’t be blamed when hardly a
handful of the people are involved in this crime. But the recent fatal incidents of sexual harassments have
raised our consciousness on this matter. Accordingly, if Indian women are ready to get modernized; they
also need to raise their personal security, for every time it is she, who has to go through tough nuances in
every city, every street through which she walks through. In a country like India, a woman herself should
be well prepared to take care of herself; no candle march will provide any sort of assistance at such hard
instances.
Women have been advancing at every sector, be it sports, science, arts, politics etc. She has stood at par
with what a man can do. Yet, she still fights for equality. No matter what the old thoughts& upbringing
culture still lay cluttered in the minds of men that women are the better halves of the society, yet they are
the victims to maximum tortures in many ways in their lives. Time has changed yet the attitude towards
women is monotonous. To understand better, one has to go to the root cause of the problem. The system
has to be changed from roots. There has to be stringent punishments & fast tracks to monitor the cases of
injustice done to females. If this law is stringent in a country, the offender would at least think twice
before committing a crime. If this continues the current scenario will change soon & we will definitely be
a proud citizen of “RAPE FREE INDIA” & females will rejoice the fathom of independence.
Keywords: Violence, Rape, Domestic violence, Women.
