Delhi is known for many things. There is the chaotic traffic, the stunning Mughal-era monuments, the street food, the burgeoning cultural scene that sees a steady stream of European designers and artists heading east in search of inspiration. There is poverty, of course, and the hubris that is the right of every emerging power. And then there is an element that, at least in the west, is less often heard about: the endemic sexual violence.
Almost every day, local newspapers carry stories covering the latest incidents of rape or harassment. In a metropolis with a population of between 12 and 18 million, depending on whether satellite towns are counted, some such cases are inevitable but the recent wave of violence against women has provoked a spate of outraged reports. "Who will stop them?" asked the Hindustan Times earlier this month as it reported that Delhi had seen 25 cases of rape, including several brutal gang rapes, and 42 "molestations" in the last month. One English-language local newspaper ran the banner headline of "Shame on Delhi Men".
Advertisement"The dazzling streets of Delhi hide a dark truth," it said, publishing the results of a poll revealing that 66% of the capital's women were molested between two and five times last year and that 70% of men "looked the other way" when it happened. What happens when they don't was amply demonstrated last Thursday when a 55-year-old rickshaw driver in West Delhi was beaten to death for "defending his daughter's modesty" from a group of drunks.
According to the Indian government's 2009 Crime in India report, Delhi is by far India's most unsafe major metropolis for women and children. Though it accounted for only 13.2% of all crimes committed in 35 "mega cities" across India in 2009, nearly 24% of total rape cases and almost 40% of cases of reported kidnapping and abduction of women were committed here. Campaigners now want to know why.

Subject: The grim reality of increasing crimes against women.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily newspaper, I like to highlight my deep concern over the increasing crimes against women in our city of Delhi.
The increase in crimes against women is going unnoticed. No proper data on crimes against women is 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 at the hand of those who are supposed to be the protectors. 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 of India and also against tourists from other countries is barbaric and 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, the atrocities against women are on the rise. If women are not safe in Delhi, the very heart of India, I wonder how safe they are in other parts of the country.
It is appalling to read news reports of how police continue to be insensitive to the hapless victims of outraged modesty and their families. Our public places and transports are unsafe for women. Even in the presence of substantial evidences, the criminals are set free on bail. These criminals have absolutely no regards for the law of the land.
1) Stringent measures need to be taken to curb this and safeguard 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) More women are needed as tourist guides in the tourism industry.
6) The Government must also pass and implement more strict laws than the existing ones for the safety of women.
7) There is an urgent need to impart and inculcate moral values to the police. We must streamline the police and prosecuting agencies.
8) Our political leaders, irrespective of their party affiliations should show political will and conviction to deal severely with those guilty of crimes against women.
Yours sincerely,
