Safety of Women in India

Women's Safety has been discussed worldwide for a very long time. However, the fact remains that women still remain a soft target for all the beasts around the world. If we talk about India, the country is soon becoming a criminal country where women are not safe and secure. Many of the cases against women remain unnoticed. The reason behind these increasing crime rates varies from person to person. 

The fact remains that as we are developing the country's crime rate is also increasing. This is because many criminal cases go unnoticed as they are being implicated in the lower classes or people tend to ignore such news as they call it negative which has a bad impact on their mindsets. The police of our nation also salute those who have power in their hands despite the fact laid down by the Constitution that everybody is a criminal in the eyes of the law and you are not above the law. 

Recently, a case happened in Kolkata where an on-duty doctor was raped and killed. This incident leads us to a question is a woman not safe anywhere whether it is her workplace or home. There was a time when we used to say that women should be taught so that the country develops at a fast pace. Today, most of the women around us are educated and independent and they have a good social standing in the society. But the question still remains are we focusing on their safety?

The article does not criticise or blame the government but the institutions should do whatever they can to provide safety measures for women working with them otherwise we will be moving back towards the time when women were not allowed to leave their homes and move out freely without any fear.
