write an article on The suffering of indian women
Answers
Some were young women fed up with the growing prevalence of harassment and rape, and with the daily, inescapable fear that such violence inspires. Some were men concerned for their mothers, wives, and sisters. And some simply relished the chance to vent. Whatever their motivations, they braved one of the coldest winters in decades, warmed with the furious heat of unrest. As more demonstrations broke out across India, in cities such as Bangalore and Kolkata, conversations about women’s safety became unavoidable. Why did such a tragic event happen? And how could it be prevented in the future?
During those weeks, the country breathlessly followed the woman’s progress, praying for her survival and recovery. With her identity kept secret, she was given pseudonyms: Nirbhaya, meaning fearless one, to highlight her courage; Damini, meaning lightning, in reference to a famous Hindi film about justice and sexual assault; and Amanat, meaning treasure, to convey her endearment to the worried millions. At the end of 2012, she was one of the most famous people in India, and no one even knew her name.
She became a symbol for all Indian women, whose hardships often begin before they are born and continue until they die. For every 1000 men in this country, there are only 940 women, an imbalance due primarily to sex-selective abortion and infanticide. The discrepancy is even more extreme in certain areas. Delhi has a sex ratio of just 833 females to 1000 males. As girls grow older, the challenges don’t let up. In rural areas, girls perform the brunt of household chores and are often married in their teens, occasionally to men they’ve never met. Even in cities, arranged marriages are the norm. A woman usually gets married in her early twenties, and from then on, her husband controls her domestic and professional life.
