Answer:
Crime Against Women
The vast majority of crimes against women go unnoticed and unreported. There is no proper data on crimes against women and information on the subject are conflicting. The fear of social stigma and the uncertainty of getting justice are the main reasons why most of the crimes against women go unreported.
Crime against women have created a poor image of India among foreign countries. Millions of foreign tourists visit India every year and this has directly affected the tourism industry. It is a matter of great shame that when our country is marching towards prosperity and advancement, the barbaric acts against women are on the rise.
Crimes against women are increasing. Stringent measures need to be taken to curb this and safeguard women. The government, the law enforcement agencies and the general public must unite to put an end to violence against women.
The Government must also pass and implement more strict laws than the existing ones for the safety of women.
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.
More women need to be recruited into our police forces.
Our political leaders, irrespective of their party affiliations should show political will and conviction to deal severely with those guilty of crimes or acts of inhumanity against women.
Let us not forget that the greatness of a nation is known by the way it treats women.
