Rape is the fourth most common crime against women in India.According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) 2013 annual report, 24,923 rape cases were reported across India in 2012. Out of these, 24,470 were committed by someone known to the victim (98% of the cases).
India has been characterised as one of the "countries with the lowest per capita rates of rape".A large number of rapes go unreported, as elsewhere in the world. The willingness to report the rape has increased in recent years, after several incidents of rape received widespread media attention and triggered public protest.This led the Government of India to reform its penal code for crimes of rape and sexual assault.
According to NCRB 2015 statistics, Madhya Pradesh has the highest raw number of rape reports among Indian states,while Jodhpur in Rajasthan has the highest per capita rate of rape reports in cities followed by Delhi the capital city.
Thousands of people have been protesting all day in New Delhi, as they have been all week after the gang rape of a woman riding a private bus. Dozens of activists and police were injured in today’s clashes, and officials are pleading for calm. Politicians promise to keep their promises this time. Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde held a press conference and pledged the government will “increase the number of buses at night, track those buses with GPS devices, ensure drivers carry identity badges and increase the number of police officers on busy routes.”
It’s going to take more than that to make India’s women feel safe. The attack, which occurred on Dec. 16, was so violent and horrific that a part of the 23-year-old victim’s intestines had to be removed. But it’s the day-to-day injustice that’s inspiring everyone to take back their streets. How will the government stop all that inappropriate touch that happens on its city buses every day? Or those hands that enter the sides of a rickshaw to just feel around? Or all those whistles and catcalls? Those are the questions people might have asked as they watched Shinde on television. Because really what can government do about all that?
