Violence against women is highly prevalent in India; almost 70 percent of women are victims of domestic violence.

3. Female infanticide

The deliberate killing of a newborn female child is called female infanticide. The patriarchal nature of our society has caused this evil to continue since centuries.

Child prostitution is a major problem in India involving around 1.2 million children.
