Answers
Answer:
Right from the time of her birth or even before a girl could become victim of a crime or target of a crime. Lets look at the stages in a woman’s life and discuss the threats briefly. Just as the stages vary, nature of crimes vary too. Below are illustrations/tables that highlight important aspects of the issue. The 2012 National Crime Records Bureau report of India states a reported crime rate of 46 per 100,000, ra pe rate of 2 per 100,000, dowry homicide rate of 0.7 per 100,000 and the rate of domestic cruelty by husband or his relatives as 5.9 per 100,000. A 2014 study in the Lancet states, “Whereas an 8·5% prevalence of s e x ual violence in the country [India] is among the lowest in the world, it is estimated to affect 27·5 million women in India [given India’s large population]. Further, the 2006 survey found that 85% of women who suffered s e x ual violence, in or outside of marriage, never sought help, and only 1% report it to the police.”
