Dr. N. V. Gudaganavar, Shri. S. D. Soudagar

Abstract :

Violence against women is touching new heights. Major types of violence against women relate to sexual harassment, rape, acid throwing, honour killing, ide burning, domestic violence, etc. The NCRB has mentioned rape as the biggest crime in India with 242006 cases registered in 2011 as against 22172 in 2010. Patriarchal culture which considers females as secondary citizens has been the main cause for rimes against women. Reports of UNICEF, UN Declaration on Elimination of Violence against Women and studies by Time Magazine, CNN and Special Reporter, etc., have confirmed the incidence of violence against women. India and other South Asian, West Asian countries and a few western countries too are found to be the area where different types of violence against women are committed. Legal enactments have not worked effectively as deterrents against violence against women in India. Social awareness and social responsibility in curbing this menace alone can ing about the desired results of women safety and equality of women in society as stipulated in the Indian Constitution.
