Violence against women
How many among us know that 'November 26' is celebrated as World Anti-Obesity Day and how many know that 25th day of November is declared as the "International Day for Elimination of Violence against women" ? Well, if you really never heard about it, let me enrich your knowledge. The General Assembly of UNO designated 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, by resolution 54/134 of 17 December 1999, and invited all concerned to organize activities designated to raise public awareness of the problem .Three Mirabal sisters were brutally assassinated by the political activists in the Dominican Republic, on orders of Dominican ruler Rafael Trujillo in 1960. Since 1981, women's activists have marked 25th November as a day against the violence targetted towards women. the General Assembly adopted declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women on 20 December 1993.
In spite of the prosperity, globalization and education, we have failed to eliminate the violence against the women. We, the Indians, worship woman as a Godess, regard her as a mother, love her as a wife and she is most affectionate to us as a daughter but still we commit violence against her. As per the statistics available, every 3rd minute a case of violence against woman is registered in India. Every day 50 cases of dowry related violence are reported and every 29th minute a woman is raped. One can argue that why this is happening? Are not their sufficient laws to prevent such mishappenings? Or the society is not mature enough to deal with such things. There is no need to be surprised. Everything is there. There are laws to prevent violence against woman, there is police to keep a check on these events and there are seminars and symposiums to make recommendation. However, on ground level nothing seemhs to be working.Above cases are just reflection of violence against woman. There are incidences of unstripping of women in nandigram and Guwahati but these incidences are not reflective of a developing economy and growing society but a decadent society which is not bothered about human dignity as stated by Dr Ranjana kumari, President of Women power Connect, a NGO in India. She has rightly suggested the observation of a "National Shame Day" every year to rahighlight the attrocities committed against women.There are other social evils also due to which Indian women suffer. I'll discuss all these in brief.
1. Witchcraft: Several women are killed on pretext of practicing witchcraft. If a child is suffering from a disease in neighbourhood, a woman living nearby may be made victim alleging that she is a witchcraft and that particular child is suffering because of her doing. In fact old scores are settled this way. Women are blamed for doing mischief and tortured or killed after sometime. How fair is this justice? A poor helpless woman is killed and no action is taken against the culprits. These cases are more prevalent in tribal area where they make their own rules and police becomes helpless against the mob. Strict action need to be taken in such cases but who will dare to go against the people as they serve as vote bank to politicians.
2. Devdasi: girls in their childhood are made Devdasi's to serve God in the temple and they have to leave their home and stay in the temple complex. These girls grew up in the shelter of priests in the temple and when they are grown up, most of them are exploited.
3. Sati:This custom is prevalent in India since a long time. Although it is prohibited as per law but still few cases are reported from some parts of the country. When husband dies, woman also has to die as per this customary practices. Some powerful group want to keep this custom alive and draw political advantages out of it. Women are worshiped who cast themselves on the funeral pyres of their husbands.
4. Dowery: This is the worst crime against the woman next to rape. A married girl (bride) is burnt to death or killed or tortured by her in-laws and husband for not providing/giving enough gifts or money to their in-laws by her parents. About 50 cases per day are registered all over India. Only solution to this problem is encouragement to inter-cast marriages or love marriage. Other alternative may be to outcast people from the society.
5. Exploitation at work place and in schools: Though these cases are seldom reported but it is a known fact that women are exploited at their work place and girls suffer as a student in their school. However, it is not applicable to all schools or workplace.

JAGORI Domestic Violence
6. Rape: All rape cases are not reported to police but if you consider only reported cases, a woman is raped in india every 29th minute. This shows the gravity of the problem. Laws are not very strict for such type of violence against woman. Few years back, there was a move on government part to award capital punishment in such cases bit it did not materialised. Sad part of the story is that in most of the cases culprits are either close relatives, friends or known persons.
7. Victims of blackmail: New technology has madewoman more prone to blackmail. Use of spying camera, mobiles equipped with camera and other cheaply available devices have made it convenient to make MMS clip or video clip and thereafter conversion of these into CD or DVD's.
8. Sex determination: Ratio of girls child to male has declined as a result of sex determination of a child during pregnancy. If it is found to be a female it is aborted by the parents. Most prosperous states of northern india have developed the practice of aborting female foetuses, once identified in the womb. However, one should never forget that every person in this world enters alongwith his/her own luck. I know a lady when she was pregnant and after sex determination she came to know that child she is bearing is a female, she made attempts to get it aborted but her husband did not agree to it. At present, that girl holds a very high position in a MNC and her mother never get tired appreciating her in front of all. So please think before committing such a cruel act. You are not knowing about the future of girl child you are attempting to kill.
9. Cyber crime against women: In a recent seminar increase in cyber crime against women was discussed. A police officer informed that 90 cases of cyber crime against women were registerd in a small city by the police. Only a small number of cases are reported to police. Few days back police arrested an Engineer of a reputed private firm on charges of blackmailing girls and women with whom he did chat regularly and retrieved information related to contact and photographs and threatened them to put their photographs on net.
Women are being exploited by exposing them physically. Obsene photographs of women are being placed on the net to earn money. The live web cam business is thriving like anything. Thousands of girls are exposing their body to earn money. A survey is needed to know wether these girls are doing it for fun or they are doing it for survival.
10. Throwing acid: The most heineous and severe punishment deserving crime against women is throwing strong acids like sulphuric acid on the face of the girls or women.
11. Other forms of violence against women:Girl child are sold for a petty amount of money and sometimes girls are sold in the name of marriage also. Many of them end up as prostitutes or bar girls. In fact, women in India face double punishment. Not only they are forced to act as sex workers but also subject to police torture time and again as prostitution in India is not legalized. Bar girls also face this problem. Even these ladies catch several diseases and die due to lack of proper health care. Other forms of violence against women include forcing them to flesh trading, honour killing etc. Honour killing is killing females if they revolt against their families/relatives and decide to marry with males of other caste or religion.
It is not only in India that violence is committed against women. There are other countries in South Asia and Gulf countries where women suffer due to attrocities committed against her by male dominated societies. However, India is large country so average appears shocking at first look.
To highlight this issue I'll add periodically important crimes being committed against women time and again in India :
- Case in Mumbai: Two young girls molested by a mob (about 70 people) on a thorughfare in front of a five star hotel on the eve of New Year (January 1, 2008). Action taken: police action being taken. Several people arrested and paraded in front of eye witnesses
The Protection of Women against Domestic Violence Act 2005
The act gives any person. who believes that a woman is being subjected to torture, the right to file a complaint, and instructs that "The first hearing be held within three days after the complaint has been filed and the case be disposed within a period of 60 days of the first hearing"
Fear Facts:
- 1 crime against women every 3 minutes
- 1 case of abuse by family every 9 minutes
- 1 dowry death every 77 minutes

Ways to eliminate violence against women
How to stop violence being committed on pretext of alleged witchcraft practice: This sort of violence is visible only in tribal belts of eastern India.There is a need for stringent action against the culprits. Action need to be taken in all the cases. Science has made so much advancement and still people believe in such nonsense things like witchcraft. Illiteracy and blind following of religion are the main root causes of problem. Police always becomes mute spectator in such cases and does not take action for fear of local disturbances and people protest. Politics also plays its role and government representatives never raise voice against such incidences for the fear of losing its vote bank.
How to stop violence commited in forms of customs like "Sati" and "Devdasi"?
Incidences like "Sati" has considerable reduced due to public awareness but more action is needed in form of public protest against the "Devdasi" custom. This form opf violence may be stopped by exposing the truth behind this custom. Laws need to be formulated to stop this practyice.
How to stop "Dowry" deaths?
This is the most serious problem prevalent in different parts of the country. Constitutional provisions are already existing to prevent dowry deaths but there is no stoppage to occurance of this problem. Inter-caste marraiges, love-marriages, increased education and employment to girls may help to a limited extent to eliminate this form of violence against women. Decrease in female population in India is indirect effect of dowry system. Parents
prefer to have male child for fear of paying dowry and facing difficulties in getting their girls married. marriage of girls.
How to stop the rape cases: As I said earlier, stringent action need to be taken against the culprits.Brave campaign by women organizations in India compelled Govt. to amend laws time and again. Recently Indian Government has decided to clear a package of amendments to the code of criminal procedure towards making the law relating to rape more rogressive and responsive to the needs of victims. The proposal includes the provisions for speedy trials, recording the statements of the victims at places of their choice, investigation of cases by women police officers and hearing of cases in most probabilioty by women judges. These amendments will help reducing the mental agony of rape victims.
Empowerment of women
Since Indian society is male dominated society, empowerment of women does not seem an effective solution of this problem. Results of providing representation to women in local governing bodies did not appear fruitful. However, reservation to women in education and jobs may be more effective then their direct participation in policy making. Women in India at this juncture don't have capabilities to provide women a safe heaven as mostly their decision making is influenced by males. However, providing women adequate representation in parliament and other executive bodies may help them in future in making policicies oriented toward women.

Well done. This is horrifying. What can we do?
Wrong actions must be condemned and government should be forced to enact and implement more strict laws for such crimes.Women should be given more quota/seats in the legislative assemblies and parliament.
You are right. A National shame day must be observed to highlight such acts.
Great Hub to spread-share-highlight such shameful atrocities.
Thanks for the facts
Very informative. There are too many crimes against women all around the world.
Great job Premsingh. Not only in India but all over the world there is crime against women. I live in America and have seen the natives here being abused by their families. Though being hated for the sex you are is a far greater crime. Not too long ago female babies in India were drowned in milk just after their birth.
I am writing a book of poetry-most of which is on female related topics and this is my way to spread the word around. Violence of all kinds must be stopped. As an Indian Woman I endorse this!
right Preeti I missed this point. I also heard news on the television that if a newborn was a female child she was likely to be killed by their own parents. I can't imagine parent can do this to their own children but conditions might have forced them to do this. Anyways, its a cruel act and should be condemned.NGO's, government and society should try to find out the causes and cures for the problem.
excellent hub.
Great hub. The media is doing a good job exposing many such crimes recently.
That puts pressure on the government's law making and enforcement.
For example, after the TV channels brought it up frequently, they have slapped a stiff fine and imprisonment for sex determination.
Keep going.
It is really sad that such things are still prevalent in India.Cases of sati are still reported from different parts of the the country though it was abolished about 200 years back.Domestic violence adds to all this.
Thanks Iðunn, Kenny Wordsmith and Abhinaya for nice comments and concern shown for sufferings of women.
I had no idea that Dowry killings were so prevalent in India. Do you think that the problem is more to do with religion, poor education, or social pressures? Or is it to do with all three?
It is mainly due to social pressures. This has become a mean of attaining wealth and social status. However, recent trends shows that intercaste marriages are on increase and mor and more cases of love marriages are evident. In most of the cases where marriages are not arranged and basis is purely love, there are less cases of dowery. But it has to be seen how many love marriages are going to be successful. Anyways, Thanx Mr indexer for valuabale comments on such a crucial issue.
GREAT HUB !!
VERY INFORMETIVE...........
I am a victum. I know a person who fixed hidden cameras in our bathroom and he shooted my naked movie while I was taking bath. I want to get that movie and wish to get a hard punishment for that person. Can you help me? If yes mail me on maishwaria@yahoo.co.in
Thanks Manju for your heart felt comments.
Hi,
After being aware of all these atrocities on women , esp in India ....i beleive severe capital punishment should be imposed....women facing any kind of hardships in all aspects should be given full support...
Thanks Ria, there is really need for harsh action against the culprits.
good. Informative.
Keep working hard
U don't need a plateform.
thanks ashu
I agree with Ashu. Its very good Information- Prem.
Good info. It's despicable to see this happenning every day in all part of the world.
Thanks googlecashmoney and waiting4u for nice comments.
Not bad! I must appreciate the effort taken. Not much of a help anyway.
Thanks Renu for apprecation as well as pointed out shortcomings. I'll take care of it and try to incorporate your suggestion in this web article shortly.
I have provided the information for those who wish to lodge their complaints or interested in seeking help an connection of any sort of violence committed against them. I again thank Renu who pointed out this deficiency in the article.
Hi Premsingh,
I am afraid, in your enthusism to project a rightful cause, you have gone a bit overboard in your statements.
"We, the Indians, worship woman as a Godess, regard her as a mother, love her as a wife and she is most affectionate to us as a daughter but still we commit violence against her as she is the most hated among all the living things in this world." -- Most hated??? How can you use such very exaggerated statements which perhaps you yourself may know that it is not true.
Please remember that you are writing in an international forum and being a lover of India (as stated in your home page) I wish you moderate extreme statements and dubious statistics (that NGO's produce based on who-know-what sources and methodologies to get international funding). There is dire need for balanced writing - not too emotional ones that can tarnish the image of India based on doubtful facts and statistics.
I request you to read my following article on this subject:
http://www.helium.com/items/823310-the-facts-about
CVR
There is possibility of getting over-emotional but the facts shown here is not the statistics by any NGO. If its difficult to believe you may please visit the official site of National Commission for women. Here question is not of tarnishing the image of India but the question is of protection to women. Our society is male dominated society and it's shameful that we could not bring an ordinance to give women the empowerment they needed. Perhaps you are staying away so its difficult for you to digest the hard facts presented here. My objective here is to highlight the issue at international platform so that we get rid of some of problems like dowry deaths. Is there a denial that most of the crimes committed against women go unreported?
Although not agreed with C V Rajan, I have removed the sentence that was not appropriate in his opinion. The sentence was "as she is the most hated among all the living things in this world". If a woman is burnt alive for a petty amount of money or a luxurious item like a motor bike, or TV, is she not worth enough of these items. These atrocities can not be committed unless we hate someone. Is she loved by her in-laws or her husband? All these crimes committed against her just shows how much regards society has for a woman.
Hi Prem,
Opinions do differ. Thanks for the alteration of the sentence.
I always feel statistics can be manipulated and has scope for lots of errors. Statistics more are less act like asrtology at times. Take Election outcome predictions in India. Every one talks of solid sample size, fool proof algorithm etc., but finally many predictions go awry.
Bad patches are there with regard to crime against women in India. BUT THEY EXIST IN SOME WAY OR OTHER EVEN IN VERY ADVANCED COUNTRIES! (Hope you read what I wrote about Sweden - Perhaps statistics were misleading there too??!)
Just because our population is too high, perhaps the numbers look too large. If you really take percentages, perhaps things will not be too bad as you think.
There are lots of people abroad who still have very poor opinion about India. But on the contrary, we, who love India, do know that things are never as bad as others think. If so, you would not have mentioned "I love India" in your home page. Hence we have to be careful on what we write about our country.
I want to quote Gemini Ganesan who once said: "Indian's love spitting at the sky by lying on their backs and the spit ultimately falls on their chest!"
Considering our very huge population, and the differences we have in class, culture, language, religion etc., I don't think crime against women is dangerously high. I do believe Indian women have their rightful respect in home and society. Stray cases can not become show pieces.
CVR
CVR
Hi CVR,
I agree with you. India is a large country population-wise. Crime against women are no less in magnitude in other countries. If we compare these figures in percentage, I believe India has less crime. But I am not concerned with other countries, I am concerned with my country and my dream is to have improvement in social values similar to progress in IT and other sector. In coming years, women have to lead in the business and other fields like what they are doing in western countries and south east Asian countries.
Thank you for making this known.
Very good Prem Singh. I thank you for sketching the picture of Indian women in our society, but exceptions are every where. We, as individuals, should commit to ourselves to change the situation from home.
nice read and worried to know the plight of women in this world
Thank u very much, this hub is providing so many informations about VAW. we are a group of young social worker and working with youth to end VAW and gender discrimination.
hi pream
As we are approaching this 2009 we are running low on our patiance. We get angry very fast for no valid reason. Many women are being the victom of voilance under the name of family, relation, culture and many more. Wake up some day. Respect women. They have strength to wipe you out.
Thank you so much for your commitment to awareness about abuse. We know of a very sad case of a young Indian woman being abused and isolated in the US by ther Indian husband 40 years her senior and are in the midst, now of trying to find some help for her..... you are so eloquent and thorough in your explanation of this issue..
thanks kyle, rajeshwari, larson, yogesh, frnaci123, rahulmate and ymagination for showing your interest in the topic and supporting my views on violence against women in India.
this site helped me a lot to do my project
thanks
its a great site
i think you should give more data of voilence against women.
good luck
Gr8t hub.......
women around all over the world has been dominated.
but this dominance is more in Asian countries...
we all should take some necessary steps to stop any kind of violence against women...
I couldn't agree more...It's so sad. We think the violence and descrimination is everywhere else..but even here in the US there is one of the HIGHEST rape and violence rates...and we are supposed to be a develped country. Not only that, but there is no law stating women are to be paid equally--still! It's a wonderful thing to know it's possible for a black man to succeed and take office (Barack Obama) believe me I was happy for him (my bf is black). But what about women of all colors? Have we seen them rise to the same level? Sadly, not yet.
Like I, they have to take the stance of "Pholan". I walk in the footsteps of Mother Kali spiritually myself.
Hi Prem,
Violence against women is a common phenomenon across the world. Even the most developed countries are facing this problem seriously.
India has taken several measures to stop and eliminate violence against women.
Thanks for a good hub and this is selected for Hubbers India.
Congrats!
Jyoti Kothari
I agree with Jimmy03 statement about violence in Asian countries.Thanks RISS, Omisaide and Jyoti Kothari for views and comments against this menace.
