Women in India - crimes and safety measures


Rape In Inida
When someone raised question about women safety in India yes the question is unanswered. Nobody cares not a single good safety measures have taken by our government. Even if they taken not implemented and followed well and it never reaches the public nobody gets the punishment and bribe plays a huge role in it. 

Women is a beautiful creature by nature without women we are nothing. We praise women in public protest against rapist, abusers and other criminals but when its come to our family members we criticise them for small reasons as a men we always trying to keep them one step below to us. This is totally a bad character and this is one of the main reasons why women feel so week and its continuing generation to generation.



Rape In India

Rape is one of the most common crime against women in India. Over 24,000 rape cases are pending in India and many unnoticed. How can we stop this? the answer is we cant stop this but we can protect ourselves. Lets see some of the Major Noticeable Rape Incidents in India. 

Kunan Poshpora Incident

The Kunan Poshpora Incident occurred on 23rd Feb 1991 in Kashmir. Atleast 53 women were gang raped by Indian Army that night. Human Rights organization reported that the number of cases could be as high as 100 and they registered a case against them but our government rejected the allegation as baseless.

Gurgaon: Two men gangrape 23-year-old girl in a moving car

Two men allegedly gangraped a 23-year-old girl in a moving car in Sohna near GurgaonAccording to the victim, she came with her friend Devendra in his SUV from Delhi to Gurgaon for shopping. A friend of Devendra was also in the car, she said. She added that they went to Sahara mall for shopping. After the shopping Devendra reportedly told the girl that his sister lives in Sohna and he needs to visit her to hand over her ATM card. The girl alleged that as she knew Devendra so she trusted him and even though it was getting dark, she went with her to Sohna.
The police have arrested one of the accused named by the victim while the others are still absconding.

However, on the way they stopped the car in a secluded place and gangraped her. Later, they threw the girl and fled from the spot. The girl some how managed to reached her home on Tuesday and informed her family and the police. After her medical report confirmed rape, police registered a case against both the accused and arrested Devendra. But his accomplice is absconding and police teams are carrying out raids to apprehend him.

The above cases are just a trail, there is n number of cases never came out. Still Indian government making arrangements to stop rapes but never taken any strict action. Government taking steps at one side, we protesting at other side in social networks and in streets  but criminals committing rapes without any problem.


Women trafficking in India

Women and girls are trafficked in India for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced marriage especially in those areas where the sex ratio is highly skewed in favour of men. A significant portion of children are subjected to forced labour as factory workers, domestic servants, beggars, and agriculture workers, and have been used as armed combatants by some terrorist and insurgent groups. We wont pay much attention to these kind of incidents because already raping incidents are rocking the India loudly.


Safety Measures for Women


1) What should a woman do if she finds herself alone in the company of a strange male as she prepares to enter a lift in a high-rise apartment late at night?
Experts Say: Enter the lift. If you need to reach the 13th floor, press all the buttons up to your destination. No one will dare attack you in a lift that stops on every floor.

2) What to do if a stranger tries to attack you when you are alone in your house, run into the kitchen.
Experts Say: You alone know where the chili powder and turmeric are kept.And where the knives and plates are. All these can be turned into deadly weapons. If nothing else, start throwing plates and utensils all over.
Let them break. Scream. Remember that noise is the greatest enemy of a molester. He does not want to be caught.

3} Taking an Auto or Taxi at Night.
Experts Say: Before getting into an auto at night, note down its registration number. Then use the mobile to call your family or friend and pass on the details to them in the language the driver understands .Even if no one answers your call, pretend you are in a conversation. The driver now knows someone has his details and he will be in serious trouble if anything goes wrong. He is now bound to take you home safe and sound. A potential attacker is now your de facto protector!

4}What if the driver turns into a street he is not supposed to – and you feel you are entering a danger zone?
Experts Say: Use the handle of your purse or your stole (dupatta) to wrap around his neck and pull him back. Within seconds, he will feel choked and helpless. In case you don’t have a purse or stole just pull him back by his collar. The top button of his shirt would then do the same trick.

5} If you are stalked at night.
Expert Say: enter a shop or a house and explain your predicament. If it is night and shops are not open, go inside an ATM box. ATM centers always have security guards. They are also monitored by close circuit television.
Fearing identification, no one will dare attack you.
After all, being mentally alert is the greatest weapon you can ever have.


Child Sex Abuse




Stop Child Sex Abuse


Above you have read about rape against women but there are many cases that children under 10 years old sexually abused or molested or raped by people in India. A study suggests that these incidents are mostly committed by well wishers, neighbours and our own relatives. At least two children a day become victims of sexual harassment in India. How we can teach our children about good and bad touch. Lets see now


Teaching Difference between Good/Bad touches to our children



There are three things you can teach your children before you begin to teach them specific touching safety rules.

1. Teach children the correct names of all their different body parts, including their private body parts.
2. Teach children that "You are the boss of your body.": no one can touch you without your permission and you can refuse if you don't like being touched by some one .
3. Explain to your child that there are three kinds of touches.
Safe touches. 
Unsafe touches. for example, hitting, pushing, pinching, and kicking). Teach children that these kinds of touches are not okay. 
Unwanted touches. 

Touching Safety Rules

Once children can name their private body parts and know about different kinds of touches, you can teach them that there is another kind of unsafe touch that is also not okay. This kind of touch is when someone older or bigger touches their private body parts. How you explain this will depend on the age of your child.(tell only parents or doctor can touch to keep them clean and healthy )

Teach your children the following safety rules: 
• It is not okay to touch someone else's private body parts. 
• It is not okay for someone to touch his or her own private body parts in front of you. 
• It is not okay for someone to ask you to touch his or her private body parts. 
• It is not okay for someone to ask you to take your clothes off or to take photos or videos of you with your clothes off. 
• It is not okay for someone to show you photos or videos of people without their clothes on.
If someone touches you inappropriately, tell them to inform parents what has happened. Don't let threats scare them into running away or keeping quiet.

Coming to your query 
What a bad touch is? 
• It is a bad touch if it hurts child. 
• It is a bad touch if someone touches child on his/her body where they don't want to be touched. 
• It is a bad touch if a person touches them in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable. 
• It is a bad touch if that touch makes them feel scared and nervous.

If it is male kid (10-11) you wont have much issue .For female kids if you are sure that you don't have any bad feelings act normal and don't let this feeling over shadow you r act. but keep in mind above points.


We have seen some safety measures for both women and children but as a human what we can do. Lets see below



1) If you saw someone misbehaving to a girl or children question them with the help of other public immediately call police and make sure is that person well known to the victim or not, speak with the victim and try to inform to the victim's parents immediately.



2) If you saw someone capturing photos/videos of a girl/children without her knowledge immediately inform them, call police and punish them.



3) If you saw child under 14 working in hotels, shops or somewhere. Call that child and enquire what he is doing their? where their parents living? does he going to school? and immediately speak with he shop or hotel owner and hand over the child to the police they will take care reach his/her parents
