Crime against women, Sexual abuse, Women empowerment

The aim of this paper is to study about the status of women and highlights the issues and challenges of being a woman in India. Women empowerment has always been paradoxical in a traditional society like India, where on the one hand society treats them as goddess in the form of Durga, Saraswati, Parwati and Kali and on the other hand abuse her in the form of child marriage, infanticide, dowry, sexual abuse, her objectification as a sex object in media and other forms of exploitation. Status of women has undergone changes in over the past centuries. From a largely unknown status in ancient times to the low point in medieval era to the period where equal rights for women are demanded by some modern social reformer. The situations have changed a lot but the overall condition of women is still pathetic given the subordinate status of women much of gender violence is considered normal and enjoys social sanction. Due to orthodox benefits women in India faced all type of violence like physical, mental public and domestic. Gender based violence against women is worldwide phenomenon. There are various forms of violence against women. Some time it is before birth and sometimes in the adulthood and other phases of life. This study is based on secondary sources. It attempts to discover the main causes of crime and to analyse the present crime trend against women in India. The paper also clearly discusses the legal classification of women crime in India in order to give a clear understanding on the existing law in the country pertaining to combat such crime and also tries to identify various factors that act as a cause of for happening of such crime. The study conclude that all efforts of women empowerment is useless until and unless we provide them safe environment to feel the pleasure of being a woman.
