Rising crime against women
Answers
Answer:
The increase in crimes against women is going unnoticed. It is no secret that proper data on crimes against women is not maintained. There are numerous cases where reporting a crime against women are ignored. In some cases the unfortunate victims are compelled to go through more traumatic experience while seeking justice. The fear of social stigma and the uncertainty of getting justice are the main reasons why most of the crimes against women go unreported.
The frequent news reports of crimes against women in India, both citizens of India and also of tourists from other countries is shocking. It has created a poor image of India among foreign countries. It is a matter of great shame that when our country is marching towards prosperity and advancement, but the atrocities against women are on the rise. The general public, the law enforcement agencies and our elected political leaders need to wake up on this barbaric acts against women in our society and even in our metro cities.
1) Stringent measures need to be taken to curb this and safeguard women. Our political leaders, irrespective of their party affiliations should show political will and conviction to deal severely with those guilty of crimes against women.
2) The government, the law enforcement agencies and the general public must unite to put an end to violence against women.
3) The Government must form special police cells with women officers and other police personnel to receive reports about crime against women and take severe actions against the culprits.
4) More women need to be recruited into our police forces.
5) The public must take a strong stand to stop any form of crimes against women. Victims must be encouraged to come out against the perpetrators of crimes against them.
6) The family members of victims must not hide crimes against women in fear of family honour. This attitude will be taken advantage by the culprits to continue their criminal activities.
7) There is an urgent need to impart and inculcate moral values to the police. We must streamline the police and prosecuting agencies.
We must remember saying that the greatness of a nation is measured by the way it treats women.
