Crime against women in India has risen faster than most of the countries around the globe. Once known for its spiritual side, India now is among the ten most unsafe counties for women. From the time of Swayambars where a woman was given the right to choose her groom from the befitting lot of man, it is the time now when she is accused to be raped or molested for choosing a dress of her choice and the place she wants to visit. However, the truth is, in India, be it an infant or an old lady of seventy, no one is safe. Whether in Burkha or in jeans no attire can ensure her security. With time and years of civilization these crimes has increased from a total of 2,13,585 reported cases in 2010 to a total of 3,37,922 cases in 2014 as stated by the National Crime Record Bureau. Cases of molestation and eve teasing have become so common that it has turned to be a part of a girl’s daily life. Dirty comments, objectionable gestures, blinking of eyes, songs and even pinching and groping are few among the numerous tortures that girls face day in and out. While some get reported, others form a part of the dreadful memory that a girl suffers in her subconscious mind. On top of that, since it is a completely patriarchal society, so the victim is at times questioned for enjoying her fundamental rights of expression, speech and movement.
