MORE THAN HALF




It seems that violence against woman in India is about to end and people of future generation will not tolerate it, anyway sexism within the system has to go.
            The most important right in modern history is right to bodily integrity and health. Rape and other assaults are the real dangers to this. It is also alarming in India, where accused are generally not convicted especially when it comes to crime against women. It is true that we are not sincere in belief of equality of women. In India's insurgency hit areas i.e. Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, North Eastern Kashmir women are exploited sexually by security forces and separatists both, this is done usually for their families.
Violence against women germinates because of unequal relationship between two sexes in public and private life. Injustice against women begins in the home and moves on the public places. In a marriage, rape of wife without her consent is not offence. This works as a settled norm outside and repeated on street. It is to be attended from the roots where it requires action in the society and family.
