Sexual Offences against Women in India - Malediction to the Society

Abstract

India is often described to be a country with a rapid growth in economy and continuing measures of human development. However, sadly with the growth of economy there has been growing concern in increasing report of the cases of sexual offences against women which doesn’t support the above statement as these offences clearly states that there has been lack of morale and degradation of human values among some of the male community which still considers themselves as superior to women as a result of which they perform sexual offences to dominate the female community of the society which creates a vital problem on how to take effective measures and ensure the safety of women towards these sexual predators. The objective of this study is to try to gather a better perspective and clear understanding of reasons and factors behind the increased report of sexual violence in India, and to understand in what way the state is taking measures to protect women against the sexual offences. .Although now various laws has been made for the protection of women in India which has changed the status as well as mentality of mankind towards women in many ways, women are given equal opportunities everywhere, in schools, in colleges as well as at the work places and public places, now women community has emerged strongly in various ways, they are also coming forward and fighting for their rights equally. However, the real concern is that it is not stopping the sexual predators in any way and therefore ,it raises a question whether the laws made by the state in order to protect women are sufficient and effective enough to prevent the sexual offences or not ? There are still men who looks at a women or female of any age as their target for satisfaction of their lust and ego , they tries to prove themselves as a superior community by dominating and forcing themselves on the female because the offenders and the victim themselves thinks that they aren’t capable of defending themselves against those predators. Sexual offences are just an unlawful carnal activity, without the consent of the women. Nowadays, adding to the need of carnal knowledge, most rape cases occur by force or fear of force against the will and consent of the sufferer. It is very important to understand a woman who is being intimidated with the crime of Rape. It is exploitation of woman’s body in which her inner personal space is violated, the act of Rape violates the right of women to decide whether she allows an individual to enter her zone of privacy or not ;this crime also accord man domination over the woman’s zone of privacy. Sexual offences are acts of expression of lust, violence and perverted behavior forced on females by the stronger male as a result of aggression, depression, lust, insecurity arising out of ignorance of his nature.
