Violence Against Women In India : Enough Is Enough 

Increasing Violence against Indian Women

The Living Legend

In India, during last year’s more than 12 million women have been denied the opportunity to live in India just and just because of abortion. In India women especially teenagers are abused and raped when they are child and teenagers and even they are forced to marry at a very young age; at the age that they can’t decide what is good and what is bad even they don’t know what marriage is.

In India traditional beliefs, class views, society differences and even nature differences have placed women in the second level after men; although in the Indian democratic system and government, women are seen in various top governmental positions and occupations, but traditional beliefs place women after men and the women right and position has reduced than men.

India is one of the few countries where men have a larger population than women and this imbalance in a state of increasing day by day.

The death toll / the mortality rate in rural India is the highest in the world and In India, there is a 27% mortality rate for every 19% of births.

It seems that most deaths in women are between the age’s of 1 and 5, and the high mortality rate has led to a decrease the count of women in the Indian population.

It is estimated that the deaths of young girls in India are more than 300,000 (Three hundred thousand) annually compared to boys, including deaths due to sex discrimination.

Professor Mandipa Sen Specializing in Philosophy and Epistemology on the issue of gender discrimination against women on gender inequality as a category that has existed with humanity since the dawn of history and has always been in accordance with those conditions and cultures at different times and cultures. Looks like a hint.

This professor of Jawaharlal Nehru University on the situation of women in India says gender equality and inequality vary from one society to another and from one culture to another. Indian society based on cultural traditions and beliefs, superior male status and lower status of woman is known from the beginning of her birth.

When a girl grows up, education doesn't seem necessary to her, because the traditional role of women is to give birth and take care of their children.

However, they have always sought to provide for the needs of the family and to participate in economic affairs such as agriculture, rural industries, livestock and activities, and in practice gender inequality is growing in society and subordinated to the culture of societies.

India's constitution gives women equal rights with men, but strong patriarchal traditions continue to influence and define women's lives.

So it can be easily said without a doubt in a society like India that the patriarchal spirit is engulfed in the blood, veins and skin of the people. Gender inequality exists in all its dimensions and can be addressed.

Professor Mandipa Sen added further: In recent years, 12 million women have been denied the opportunity to live in India because of abortion. Women in India are abused and raped as a child and even forced to marry at a very young age.

In recent years, violence against women in India has increased. Sexual harassment, humiliation and other crimes are examples of it. Fear of rape eliminates women's aspirations.

Abortion and child molestation in India are other forms of violence against women in Indian society. Women in this country do not have the right to inherit their spouse.

According to the International Center for Research on Women, about 45 percent of Indian girls are forced to marry before they are 18 years old.

According to statistics, women make up about one-third of India's official labor force and are not only always pushed to low-income jobs and more vulnerable to unemployment than men, but also typically for similar work. With men they receive only three quarters of their wages and are deprived of scarce social resources, such as wealth, power and credit, and are unable to make the most of their community's resources.

In fact, gender inequality is visible in all areas of daily life for these women.

In developing countries like India, girls and women are less educated than men because of social norms and fears of rape.

India has the largest population of working-class girls who do not go to school in the world.

Professor Mandipa Sen goes on to point out the role of education in India, which is not really universal primary education in India. Overall, literacy rates in women are 39 percent and men 64 percent. That was 25% in 1991.

Statistics of 1981 show that less than 1.3% of all girls and slightly less than 5 to 14 year old rural girls in India attend school.

Ignorance of women has existed in all forms of history throughout the history of this country, and divine religions and religions in the land have always begun to eradicate such thinking in this land.

However, due to the political and economic powers at the hands of men, the human status of women in the evolutionary path of human history has not been institutionalized and needs special attention and this has been the reverse for women in India, fear of violence and rape being a major factor in most girls’ life.

This affects the education, its timing, its location and the identity of the individuals.

In recent years, violence against women in India has increased.

According to the Indian National Crime Records Annual Report, there is a rape in every 34 minutes and a sexual harassment in every 42 minutes, a woman is kidnapped in every 43 minutes and a woman beheaded and burned just because of dowry issue in every 93 minutes.

According to the National Criminal Records Bureau of India, crime against women has increased by 7.1 percent in 2010, including rape. In year 2011, this figure has increased to 9%.

More than half of the victims are between the ages of 18 and 30 years. Statistics show that 10.6 percent of women are victims of raping are the girls under the age of 14, while 19 percent are girls between the ages of 14 and 18.

What is alarming is the fact that in 94.2% of the victims of the abuses are family members, relatives and neighbors whose wife knows the victim of rape.

According to Indian Penal Code, crimes against women include rape, kidnapping and taking hostage, prostitution, torture, prostitution, sexual assault and trafficking of girls and women.

In 2011, a total of 2 million, 280 thousand and 650 crimes against women, respectively, were reported to be very high, while the average crime rate against women was 18.9% nationally.

The persistence of gender in men's and women's activities has changed with all-encompassing development in all areas, and will change with passing of time, and in fact, parents' unwillingness to educate girls is rooted in women's status.

Parents have a great deal of motivation for not educating girls, and the most important is that girls' education is of no benefit to parents, and that their future roles, which are mainly fertility and perhaps agricultural work, do not require formal education.

The more boys been educated, the more girls are recruited as labor forces, and women's participation, knowledge, and data are marginalized, and their role has shifted from primary producers to dependent workers.

Professor Mandipa Sen, a professor at Jawaharlal Nahr University, points out that India is in a very complicated situation, because our people are made up of three livelihoods - traditional, rural and traditional, and today a modern city. The information provided is gender-disparate.

Therefore, planning in such an environment can by no means to be be a model, but since flexibility, interaction and tolerance are also Indian traits, by relying on these traits they can define goals with realities and with a firm commitment to equality and equal rights.

In this regard, it seems that policymakers and planners of the country should pay attention to the role of women as key players in Indian society.

An important issue that needs to be carefully considered is to draw a good example and reflect on the proper role of women in this society, and always discussing the development of gender awareness in order to understand gendered needs and roles requires an accurate understanding of where women grow up. And where they are and where they should play a role.

However, discrimination and violence against women in Indian society has led to the enactment and enforcement of a harsh penal code against women earlier this year in order to prevent violent behavior against them.

The bill, known as the Criminal Justice Reform Bill of year 2013, came after widespread protests by the Indian people in protest of the rape of a 23 years old girl in New Delhi on 16^th December 2012.

The bill, which was approved on 19^th March in the Indian Parliament (Lok Sabha) and on 21^st March in the upper house (Raj Sabha) of India, takes over the previous decree of the Indian government.

The bill amends various sections of criminal law, criminal case law, Indian martial law and child protection law.

The bill, in order to further increase the punishment for crimes such as rape, states that a transgressor can be sentenced to imprisonment of up to 20 years of sentence and a maximum of life sentence in prison.

The bill also provides for the execution of people who have previously been convicted of such crimes.

The bill envisages severe penalties for rape, putting acid and sexual assault, with a minimum sentence of rape, imprisonment of 20 years sentence and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, and the death penalty if convicted of rape.

The bill describes rape, as demanded by women's rights advocates, as a male-specific crime, whereby men are charged with rape and women are identified as victims.

Stricter laws have been introduced in India as there have been numerous cases of subsequent assaults since the assault on an Indian student girl.

However, insecurity for women and their assault on the society of over 1 billion and 240 million Indian people has become a problem that has also challenged to state officials and legislators.
