Crime against women in India

Abstract

Gender bias exists in almost all societies. Women from generation has been provided with secondary status to man, she doesnand#8223;t have her own identity but treated as the property of the household to which she belongs and confined in the house in the name of honour. However the perpetrators of crime against women are known to or related to women. The women participated in each and every field today but majority of them confined to homes and their contribution to the society or nation building is limited to a certain extent due to this. Their male counterparts rule the world they have all the power and pleasure of the world, and women remain isolated uneducated, invisible and unrewarded of the role she played in the household, society, and nation building. Todayand#8223;s women face the wreath of the man from the day she born to till she died due to the patriarchal mind set. newlineWomen in one form or other have been given back seat in our male prejudiced culture. The women of today is changing the feudal mind set of the people and going to achieve its goal of gender equality and gained success but in course of that she is suffering violence in the hands of her family members. If we compare the past with present women have come a long way but they have to travel long way to achieve gender equality and change the patriarchal mind set of the community at large.
