Indi The Fourth Most Dangerous Place For Women

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,

Through, the years Domestic abuse and police arrests has impacted society because the police officers failed to provide equal protection towards women who are victims towards sexual abuse. Therefore, the policy reform was established to reduce crimes and political power. However, violent crimes have been categorized with higher rates of proscution.Women were not provided with equal protection against domestic abuse and increased the rate of victims who are incarcerated. Women who encountered domestic violence have been arrested for self-defense. Victims of domestic abuse have been physically forced and violently assault in order to take advantage of them and form authority over them. In order to understand the social world we need to include women experiences towards domestic violence and mandatory arrest in order to reduce crimes and prevent victims from being incarcerated.

Violence against women has been ever-present throughout time and place in our world and in recorded history. Although violence against women encompasses a whole range of related acts, rape and sexual assault perpetrated against women is the focus of this paper. Men and boys are also victims of sexual assault, but the numbers of women who are sexual assaulted are much higher. We will be examining the definition of rape, the effects of rape, issues associated with rape, theories about the cause of rape and engage in some speculation on what can be done to improve the safety of women.

Since 1970, there has been an increasing and alarming rise 138 percent of violent crimes committed by women. Still, while the equivalent percentage compared to male violence is small 15 percent to 85 percent the fact that the numbers have elevated so drastically points to something changing in society.

Because of more women notifying the authorities about the violence they are facing, most of the research and studies focus on female population. Around 1.3 to 5.3 million people are facing IPV each year in the United States especially immigrant women (Modi et al. 2014). The National Intimate Partner Sexual Violence Survey (NVAWS) reports that 3 in 10 women have suffered by an intimate partner (Modi et al. 2014). As per NVAWS, women faced 48% psychological aggression, 30% physical violence, 17% sexual violence and 9% of rape. In order to combat the rising issue of IPV, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was introduced in 1994 (Modi et al. 2014). As per World Health Organization, Intimate Partner violence (IPV) defines as behavior within an intimate relationship that cause physical, sexual, or psychological harm, including acts of physical aggression, sexual coercion, and psychological abuse and controlling behavior.(Modi et al. 2014). Aged 16-24 girls and young women are severely assaulted by male partner and it’s almost 2 million U.S women each year (Marrs Fuchsel, et al

According to (WHO, 2002) & (Obote-Odora, 2005, p135), sexual violence is not limited rape, but a person conducting a sexual act on another person via coercion. Sexual violence can relate to violence psychologically and physically and this is aimed at the sexuality of a person and this could include forced acts such as sexual slavery and prostitution. Sexual violence is prevalent in peace and armed conflict scenarios. This is regarded as traumatic, pervasive a common violation that people suffer from. This is a grave health and human rights issue that affects the individual mentally and physically in the short term as well as the long term.

The situation forces women to rely on the community since they cannot establish themselves due to lack of capital and resources to support themselves. They lack the required resources and depend on any amount of physical violence as a means of resolving issues. The society lacks social cohesion and control to defend women subjected to physical violence, rape and early marriage which account for high homicide rate as the community remains

India, is one of the world’s most dangerous countries to be a woman. It is there they face many crimes and mistreatment against them, such as rape and arranged marriages. Many of the cases against women go unnoticed and are usually not looked at properly. This is due to the corruption in the government in which they are doing nothing to help the people. Indian women activists have created the group Gulabi Gang to cause change into the government, into society and to change it, they need morals and the merit system to do so.

According to the National Crime Records Bureau’s statistics, the number of rape cases has risen from around 15,000 to 25,000 in a 12-year period (2001-2012). This surge can be attributed to the changing dynamics of the Indian society wherein women are acquiring a greater role outside their homes and challenging the deeply-rooted patriarchal setup of the Indian society. According to Desai (2014), unemployment and poverty prevalent among the young men has led them to reassert their identities through violence. Moreover, growing sexual awareness and media scrutiny among women has also ensured that more cases of abuse against them are reported. The public awareness generated through the reportage of recent rape case including the Delhi gang rape case, Badaun rape case and the rape of a minor in Bangalore has pushed the issue of women’s rights and security in the public discourse as well. This necessitates that the legal mechanisms also evolve with the changing dynamics of the Indian society which ensure that the constitutional rights of women are protected.

Honor Crimes are also witnessed in European and Western Countries’ Immigrants communities. Because many women are unable to communicate to the state authority of the honor abuses due to linguistic issues. Such list of countries includes Germany, Sweden, Turkey, and UK. For instance, UK has witnessed 20 such deaths of women in the past five years due to honor crimes. India is a country which has sever traditions that are practiced even to date these include burning brides for sake of dowry, acid attacks, rapes and gang rapes, sexual harassments, killing and raping young girls etc and these apply to both Muslim and Hindu women in their culture. No matter how modernize a women becomes, but such kind of norm against women hardly changes (Tripathi. A. & Yadav. S., 2005, pp. 63-78).

Despite 44 laws targeted towards the protection of women, crime rate statistics show that women are still very much at risk, evidenced by the Thomson Reuters Trust Law indicator which ranked India as ‘the worst G20 country in which to be a woman’ and the fact that one woman in India dies every hour because of dowry-related crimes, reported in 2013 by LifeNews.com. There isn’t a simple explanation as to why the laws are being broken, ignored, and have failed to be upheld in court.

The current society that w live in is full of crimes and people that go against the laws. Many people commit crimes despite the punishments set for those crimes. A crime is any act that goes against the law ordering it or any act that is omitted against a law ordering it. Laws are set of rules that are set to govern people on how they conduct themselves.
