Gender based violence in India has not declined despite taking various measures. Discuss.

Opening · a figure

Recent National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) report Crime in India 2021 mentioned increase in gender based violence in 2021. Acid attack, sexual abuse, domestic violence are the example of gender based violence.

Steps taken

Body · points

(1) Constitution have some provisions which aims at providing rights to everyone including women. Article 14, 15 and 16 related to equality and article 39 (c) in DPSP promotes welfare of women.

(2) Government have enacted various legislations such as Dowry Prohibition Act, Domestic Violence Act, Prevention of sexual Harass-ment at work place etc.

(3) Creation of ministry of women and child developement, Women Police station, Swadhar Greh etc.

Despite these, violence against women is increasing due to -

(1) Social factors - Womens are considered as subject of man & beating women as their right. Also, clashes between community results into targeting soft target i.e. women. Eg - recent Manipur women case.

(2) Economic factor - Womens are dependent on men. As a result of this they are not able to raise voice against violence.

(3) Judicial & administrative factors are also responsible as there is delay in investigation & prosecution.

Close · a way forward

There is need of awareness about equality and awareness among women about their rights. Also economic empowerment can help to prevent gender based violence.
