Failure in the Indian Judiciary System for Violence Against Women

Men who enter the criminal justice system are depicted by society as violent individuals rather than women who are often depicted as accomplices who are often times unaware of things happening around them. In a study conducted, it was found that “almost 13 percent of men were jailed on murder charges and 13 percent for rape or sexual assault, while 11 percent of female inmates were there on murder charges and 2 percent for rape or sexual assault.” This in many cases is tested to be true since men are more violent than men in nature and due to the fact that

Kainat and her family showed true bravery in this rape case. They went against tradition and stuck with their morals. There is still a strong stigma with rape. People will say the girl was asking for it, and that is not true. You cannot justify rape by blaming the victim for looking a certain way. I watch a documentary on Netflix called “India’s Daughter”, unfortunately, the young woman did not get to confront her perpetrators like Kainat because she was murdered after being raped. Women here are seen as confident, healthy, and powerful while women elsewhere are subjected to horrible conditions, they are repressed and discriminated against by their own neighbors. The men in this video prove that women’s lives don’t matter because if she acts

Societal is major influence on domestic abuse happening on women. Children who live in homes where they have to eye-witness the domestic violence happen can lead to significant emotional and physiological trauma. Gradually youngster learn to think behave and act based upon others they observe. In that way, they can learn fast and respond quickly. That kind of environment can make negative impact on child behavior and actions in the future. The figure below shows mistreatment of married women by her own husband family members in Afghanistan.

Constantly, people hear rape crimes, sexual abuse, and the inequality between women and men on a everyday bases. Not only is this situation happening intensely in the United States, it becomes even more fierce in third-world countries such as India. Controversies surrounding women’s image and status should be resolved locally and internationally. It is not something that is completely irrelevant to us, it could happen to anyone, you, your friends, and even your family members. So, when people are talking misconceptions about the image of women, or giving funny comments about a serious issue that is relating to women, please stand up and defend for women’s rights. Any defensive action might have a chance of saving a life, strengthening women’s rights, and protecting their dignity. Women should not be told of what to wear, how to act, and when to play; men should be told not to

Domestic violence against women is prevalent in almost all the societies in the world. It is an issue which was not even recognised as a crime 40 years ago and is still not recognized as a crime by many societies. Women suffer from violence, including physical, sexual, emotional, and psychological violence by strangers and their partners all over the world (Kaya, 2010). Even though it is a worldwide occurrence, there are some women who face more intense and frequent violence depending on their culture, country, religion,

Freda Adler once said, “Rape is the only crime in which the victim becomes the accused.” Women should not have to go thru so much pain and agony, and our voices should be heard and expressed throughout the countries. After watching India’s Daughter, a young college student that just wanted to live her dream to become something great, her life span was short lived due to 6 men raping her, by pulling her intestines out, and thrown off a moving bus.

In 2010 there was more than a million women in the criminal justice system, which has breads many problems within the criminal justice system.

As they say women are beginning to be seen as more criminally inclined than in days long past. The world has changed. Women have been shown by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research to "commit more violent offenses than in the last 10 years"(Fife-Yeomans and Ongario). Women have become different than the era where they were almost unheard of committing crimes. How much of an impact on society this has is very significant as it managed to create a widespread development of female criminals and a new view of them in the eyes of police officers because "the criminal justice system now seems more willing to incarcerate women"(Krauss).

According to the Home Office (2013), Women constituted a paltry 19% of the offenders in UK which proves that women commit fewer crimes as compared to men. As a proven fact, this is one of the contributors that compel the magistrates to be a bit lenient. Men who are likely to be Habitual offenders are unlikely to get leniency from a judge as compared to women.

However, the negligence as well as carelessness portrayed by police increased the rate of displeasure amidst victims and hence furthering trauma (Achterstraat 2011). This report looks into the current policies and strategies that are impacting police responses to the domestic violence. It also focus of the Term of Reference from AAW (2008),“Accountability: ensuring that the response from the police, prosecution teams, community and courts provide an effective response to domestic and family violence, to send a clear message to perpetrators that committing violence is not acceptable, and holding them accountable for their

This makes it easier to mistreat women because it makes them seem less than human. It is also believed that the death of a husband is punishment for something done in a previous life. Society’s refusal to change theses Hindi beliefs and practices create the oppression of women by making their mistreatment seem justified and by making them seem less than human.

Female infanticide has been accepted for centuries in many countries, and is more prominent in India and China than in any other countries around the world. It is illegal in India, however it is reported by Unicef that up to 50 million girls and women are “missing” in India as a result of systemic sex discrimination.

Contemporary Indian society professes a profound faith in every individual’s “right to life and dignity”. The rights relating to the weaker & vulnerable sections of Indian society especially women, and more specially the girl child were violated. The twin social evils of female foeticide & female infanticide were the main causes.Violence against women exists in various forms, in all societies, the world over. In 1996 the world health assembly endorsed the fact that violence against women is a Public Health problem and female foeticide is one extreme manifestation of violence against women. India is a country of 102.7 crore population, out of which 53.1 crores is of males and 49.6 crores is of females,
