According
to Thomas Reuters Study, Delhi is the most Unsafe place for Women to live. NCRB
Reported that 1000 Crime Against women are Registered daily.
This
shows the state of Women in India, which we can see from the recent Rape and
Murder incident of Hyderabad where 27 year old veternary doctor was raped and
burned to death.
Constitutional Safguards:
* Right to Equality under article 14
which suggests that Women are no Inferior to men.
* Part 3 of the Indian Constitution
specifically defined that there should be no discrimination on the basis of
gender.
* Directive Principle of State Policy
under Article 39 provided equal wages and living conditions for men and women.
Schemes by Government
* Vishakha Guideline given by Supreme
Court led to enactment of Act against Sexual harassment at workplace.
* Nirbhaya Fund was setup after 2012
Delhi Rape case to ensure women safety.
* Shelter homes for Destitute women
to prevent them from abuse.
* Udaan Scheme for Girls to pursue
Higher Education.
* PCPNDT act, 1994 enacted to save
Female Fetus.
Problems associated with Women Safety
in India:
* Pendency of Cases on Crime Against
Women, as per NCRB report 90% of the cases are pending.
* Lithargic Justice system of India.
* Physical and Mental Violence
Against Women, as per NHFS-4 Survey a 3rd of Married women in India Suffer
during their lifetime.
* Effectivness of Policing system and
Lack of Sensitisation to the Police.
* Lack of Inculcation of moral values
at school level for children.
Women are worshipped as Goddess in
India. As said by Gandhi, a person who see every women as her mother/sister is
a vaishnav. We need to inculcate Gandhian System in Personal as well as Public
Life.
