Abstract

Amidst the whole range of gender disparities in India – starting from survival after conception and birth inequality, unequal access to resources, unequal facilities, and so on – the physical victimisation of women is a problem that needs urgent attention. While comprehensive social reform which ensures access to education and healthcare, equal livelihood opportunities and equal wages is required to arrest the ever-rising incidence of violence against women, a well-thought-out prevention, protection and empowerment mechanism should also be in place to stop such incidents. The political will of the government is of utmost importance in this regard.
