Abstract :
Women have experienced all aspects of life,
from grandeur and respect during the Vedic period to
denial and servitude during the post-Vedic period. They
even fought for the modern-day struggle for equality,
acknowledgment, and existence. Violence, physical
abuse, denial of the right to life, subordination, and
neglect have all been perpetrated against women. Eveteasing, molestation, sexual assault, and rape are
examples of abuses that are frequently referred to as
sexual harassment or sexual misbehaviour.
The evidence is all around us; women's voices are
increasingly being heard in Parliament, the courts, and
on the streets. From the beginning, India's Constitution
granted women equal rights to males. Unfortunately,
owing to illiteracy and restrictive traditions, most
women in this country are uninformed of their rights. In
India, there have been around 32000 murders, 19,000
rapes, 7500 dowry deaths, and 36500 molestation
instances registered against women, and these are the
approximate numbers, which are rising by the day. And
these are only the incidents that have been recorded;
most rapes and molestation crimes go unreported owing
to the risk of losing family reputation in the society.
