NET TAKE – TODAY CRIME AGAINST WOMEN FORMS 10% OF TOTAL IPC CRIMES

This ‘crime against woman‘ situation cannot be improved in a short duration; due to various cultural, economic and social factors. Like the ingrained patriarchal mind-set, the economic dependency, increasing alcohol consumption, wave of migrant labourers in big cities, the clash of cultural values due to a media explosion within 2 decades. The list can go on.

Education is better than Policing for “crime against women”I feel the change will be more enduring if it’s inculcated from bottom up. Values and social mores are imbibed at an early age. It’s very tough to change social values after a certain age. Policing and law-enforcement can at the best act as deterrents. But their resources are already stretched thin. The best bet is education. If the man vs woman equations are spelt out clearly at a very young age, probably in 2 or 3 generation cycles we can see a significant change is the safety of women on the Indian streets.

What is to be done to improve the safety of Indian women?
