Violence Against Women In India

Violence against women is not a problem today, it has taken root several decades ago. It spreads all over the world. The situation is getting worse. It spans all boundaries and races. Violence against women is one of the most widespread infringements of human rights and violence against women is a very serious and sensitive issue because it deprives its basic rights from almost half of the population (women and girls). Domestic violence is more intense than external violence, although homes are places where individuals seek love, safety, safety, and evacuation shelters, but we can not deny that it is a life threatening place.

Violence against women in India is not only a current problem but also a deep tradition in culture. In order to solve this problem, we must understand the reason. In India, violence against women is the result of the imbalance of power between men and women over the years. People can manage access to property and resources. In India, there is also division of labor between men and women - physical, mental and commercial - leading to the exploitation of women. Repression of India

Violence against women is one of the most common and stubborn forms of gender-based violence in India, most not recognized, in all matters, especially sexual issues and marital relationship issues. This is a form of violence hidden in a normal form. Because there is no specific law on "honor" crime in India, violence (by gender) to prevent women from exercising their choices in love or marriage is not properly documented. In order to discover this violence and confront it, you need to look at the surface and read the available lines of the document.

Photographer Smita Sharma traveled throughout India for her project "Not My Shame" and recorded more than 50 rape cases. "In India, reports on sexual violence against women are focused on details of cases, not individuals," Sharma said. "I want to understand the experience of women and their families after crime." SS: I feel strongly that I need to hear these suppressed voices. My intention is two: survivors share their story with their families and do extensive discussions. Numbers and statistics do not form empathy, but the story is like this. When I was in my teens, I was harassed by a teacher respected in my hometown. When I talked to him, I remained silent and I said I do not know how to respect my elders. I was rejected and I lost my friend. For years, anger was in my body.
