Why a rape in India is reported in every 15 minutes?

I am coming with this topic now as the brutality has left no limit nowadays. The savior has become a danger for us in this Era. Yes, I am talking about the monstrosity happened in Odisha recently, A 13-year-old girl was being raped for four months and later being aborted for the same by the Inspector and some other policemen. A doctor and her stepfather were also accused of terminating her pregnancy. Neither was reported not noticed by state or nation For a Long. Later a complaint was lodged against the above-mentioned fellows by the district child protection officer.

There are multiples of a hundred cases that have been reported daily But a more number of cases than this are not even reported in our country.

 Within India, a rape is reported every 15 minutes, according to recently released records of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). The vulnerability for girls or women of such evil deed is almost twice today to what it was 15 years back

. 

Ajmer case,1992; Nirbhaya case, 2012; Mumbai gang rape 2013; Swiss couple tourist case 2013; Ranghat case 2015; Delta meghwal rape case 2016; Kathua rape case 2018; Unnao rape case(2017-2019) - these are some reported noticeable cases both in India and worldwide. The year has changed, the name of the victims and culprit, situations, and places too, But what remains alike is the Outrageous evil deed. Recently while the beginning of this year we are celebrating for the verdict handed for the Delhi gang rape-murder cases.Though the decisions came after a long-struggling 7 years yet led to several changes in India’s rape laws in the hope that speedier trials and harsher punishments would lead to fewer assaults on women and prevent from such ruthlessness in future. But It seems farther from the Truth till now. 

A country where the feminine form is worshiped as mother goddess, the data on violence against women throws up shocking figures. Some surveys delivers it reasons like:

• Legal avoidance: The flaw in the country's judicial system is like a way for the rapist to be active enough. There is no effective investigation not even an effective agency to proceed with the cases. The Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2018, extends punishment for rape from maximum seven years to life imprisonment. Death penalty to those convicted of raping a girl below 12 years.After this amendment the rate of murders post rape has been increased abruptly because the accused knows that the chances of being given life-long punishment are high, hence they end up murdering the women after raping them.
• Patriarchal Norms: Rape in India is not only a legal issue but also a social issue. Patriarchy has created a "second-class" status for women in India.The mind set has been intercepted in that way since childhood. The society gives more importance to the men .The violence against girls and women usually takes place in their immediate surrounding including men from their own family, friends, neighbors ,co-workers, etc.
• Collusion with power: Rape is non-bailable offense in Indian penal code but people do get bail with a reason of lack of evidences and others. The accused are often sheltered by the high level politicians, police men or even by the lawyers.This is one of the key reason why cases are so poorly investigated and prosecuted in India.
• Vulnerable management: There is a hole in our system.Like a decision was taken when the matter was hot after that consistently we forget about it. It always take another tragedy to wake them up.Even various schemes and funds are not aware to the public also to grab its benefits.Like Nirbhaya funds-The Union government initiated the fund to support schemes for women’s safety. Money given to states not utilized yet.1,023 Fast-Track Courts: A scheme for quick delivery of justice. No such court has come up yet.Dial 112: This an emergency toll-free number launched by the system to improve the women's safety but this is not operational in several states.

Analyzing the reasons are not enough , Demolishing The evil from our lives should be the aim .

We may don't have vaccine for Covid'19 pandemic but we should create a one for this Rape pandemic To eliminate from our country as well as world. This Rape culture should be a history soon for our next coming Generation. We together can make it happen-may be slowly but with a consistent phase.

To begin take a look on How you can stand against rape culture.
