There has been not a single day in India and in Delhi particular when violence and crime against women like rape, sexual harassment, acid attack, dowry death have not been reported in the newspapers.
According to the Government's 2009 Crime in India report, Delhi is by far India's most unsafe major metropolis for women and children. Though it accounted for only 13.2% of all crimes committed in 35 "mega cities" across India in 2009, nearly 24% of total rape cases and almost 40% of cases of reported kidnapping and abduction of women were committed in the national capital.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) reveals that 29 gruesome crimes cases were reported on an average daily in 2013. The heinous crimes included 3 robberies, rapes each, 17 incidents of abduction and a case of murder between January to December in 2013.
According to a survey conducted by Thomson Reuters' Trustlaw Women, a hub of legal information and legal support for women's rights in 2011
- India was placed as the fourth most dangerous place for women. Afghanistan was found to be the most dangerous place for women followed by Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan, India and Somalia in the survey.
- The high number of female foeticide, infanticide and human trafficking prevalent in India has placed it as the fourth most dangerous place for women in the world.
"India ranked fourth primarily due to female foeticide, infanticide and human trafficking," the poll said
According to latest UN reports, one in four men in Asia have committed rape at least once.
Unfortunately, India is still battling. The question arises is it the law and order situation, weak judicial system, back Government policies, or the mindset. what is that is lacking?
Many researchers, experts and sociologists believe that " Collective technology intelligence and joining automation and analytics to human judgment can help to reduce the crime"
