Kerala the God’s own country is one of the highly developed states in India in high literacy, high life expectancy, low infant mortality rate, low maternal mortality rate, favorable sex ratio of women etc. But still Kerala has been witnessing high rate of crimes against women over a period of time. The most common crime against women is domestic violence. It is nearly 51.4 percent. Gender based violence is clearly based on unequal power relation between men and women. The status of women in India is not equal to the status of men in terms of access, participation and reward. The issue of gender discrimination manifests itself as violence in the family, community and society. History shows that women have never had an opportunity to express their individuality.one of the reason for it being so prevalent is the orthodox and idiotic mindset of the society that women are physically and emotionally weaker than men. Though women today proved themselves in almost every field that they are no less than men, the reports of violence against women are much larger than violence against men.
