When we think of crime against women our thinking gets limited to rapes and acid attack. Different type of crimes against women which gets reported are as below:
1.dowry deaths
2.honour killing
3. female infanticide
4.female foeticide
5.gang rape
6.domestic violence
7.child marriage and many more

Status:

A total of 3,37,922 cases of crime against women (both under various sections of IPC and SLL) were reported in the country during the year 2014 as compared to 3,09,546 in the year 2013, thus showing an increase of 9.2% during the year 2014. 

Causes:

1.The birth of the son celebrated, the birth of a girl is mourned.
2.Unequal education, nutrition, and living conditions.
3.Early marrying off into families where these nubile minds are shaped into the same mindset.
4.Employment of women frowned upon.
5.Dowry system, which try to portray whether marrying a girl is actually a great work of charity done in the goodwill of the girls family.
6.Women supposed to keep her face covered, her body covered and modern clothing viewed as lewd and ‘inviting’.etc...

Remedy:

1.Stop the custom of dowry! Make stronger laws, launch campaigns, do whatever it takes!2.Stop female infanticides! Make much stronger laws, punish doctors who facilitate such crimes!
3.Stop discrimination in the wages, treatment and employment of daily-wage workers based on sex. Make sure that a female laborer gets paid as much as her male counterpart!
4.Discourage poor and uneducated families to have a huge number of children just to have a male child – A person who believes in “Who will carry the name of my family forward?” ideology is as responsible for rape as the demons walking the streets of our capital city!5.Instruct the police and other law enforcement agencies of all the cities to curb petty crimes. A police department that forces a city to shut down at 11:00 PM on the pretext that the city can become unsafe for women at night needs to be questioned about their responsibility and ability to provide security to us.
6.Eve-teasing and other such ‘small’ offenses must be dealt with severely. People should know that it is NOT ok to pass sexual remarks in public.
7.Education etc..

i hope it may help u
