Shame map of India: States with highest rate of crimes against women

Statistics from National Crime Records Bureau's Crime in India 2012 report plotted on a map of India to highlight which Indian states have the highest rate of crime against women. According to the statistics, Nagaland is the safest state in India for women, while its neighbour Assam is the most unsafe. The rate of crime against women means the number of crimes against women per one lakh population of women. The statistics from the 2011 Actual Census (Provisional) women population have been used to calculate the crime rate.

Guest post by Diego Gonzalez-Medina, data specialist from the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

In the early 1990s, Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen called attention to the “missing women” hypothesis.

Child_Maid_Servant

As Sen described in this article, there was an unnatural deficit of young girls in South Asia, parts of sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East. They were missing, he said, as a result of hundreds of thousands of sex-selective abortions or neglect of female children in preference of male children. The argument was supported by anecdotes of general male preference in specific societies and world regions.

The gender imbalance in some countries is now more widely recognized. China has ‘too many men‘ due to years of sex selection. In India, neglect and mistreatment of women is highlighted in tragic stories around dowries, sex-selective abortions (see “Gendercide,” The Economist 2010), and most recently in the context of sexual abuse.

What is less appreciated is how women and girls are injured at the dinner table.

Overall poverty in India is well documented, but gender inequality within households is often considered separately, if at all. For example, it is common for women to eat after men and for the mother of the household to serve herself last, receiving smaller portions of quality food such as milk and fruits. Research on this phenomenon found that the majority of missing women in India die as adults (older than 15).

The Global Burden of Disease 2010 study took a comprehensive approach to measuring nutritional deficiencies for each country, age-group, and sex between 1990 and 2010.

The burden of poor intake of protein, iron, Vitamin A, and food energy was measured in terms of years lived with disability as well as the number of deaths it causes. Of all the regions in the world, South Asia (Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan) had the highest gender gap in 2010. The gap was most prominent for women aged 15 to 19, whose death rate for nutritional deficiencies was three times greater than that of males. This is illustrated in the screen grab below.

Put A Halt on Women Voilence | All Resource

Indian Women and the Women around the world to stand up and fight for injustice,crime,atrocities happening with them because no one would ever know the pain of a Woman until you are a Woman.So,stand up for yourself and make this world follow the suite,show them the true potential you hold to change the world and make it a better place to live in and once you stand up for yourself you will find millions standing with you,supporting you and joining hands with you to fight the evil out of this world.

Some statistics

http://allresourceupdates.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/chapter-5.pdf

The amount of Crime against Women in India is on the rise with each passing day.Crimes like Rapes,Female Foeticide,Dowry,Child Marriages,Honor Killing,Domestic Violence all has piled up in recent times and now the time has come to put a halt on it.People who commit such crimes feel that the women are weak and thus can easily be suppressed.

But the main concern still remains that is ‘How can we put a halt to such crimes?’.To me until and unless we change our perception towards Women and Girls such thing will always be there and the best means to change one’s perception is education,illiteracy is main root to all evil,once we are educated well enough our concise will always make us a better one for the society.Apart from that promoting specific morals or values may be controversial,as such efforts are often associated with repressive and narrowly defined visions of the common good. Moral capabilities are essential, but the means to develop them must be consistent with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,aimed at fostering the spiritual,social and intellectual development of all people.

Such capabilities can be taught in schools but will not be effective unless they take root in family and community.Neighbours,educators,health workers,employers,politicians, religious leaders,police,media professionals–all share responsibility for the protection of women.Promoting the eradication of elements in traditional norms and religious beliefs, practices and stereotypes which legitimise and exacerbate the persistence and tolerance of violence against women and children.Introducing and supporting gender sensitisation and public awareness programmes aimed at eradicating violence against women and children.Encouraging the media to play a constructive role in the eradication of violence against women and children by adopting guidelines which ensure sensitive coverage of the issue and avoid the perpetuation of stereotypes.

To make this all happen and to stop the crime against women we must rise up and stand together and pledge to make this world a better place to live in for Women.

Ashamed to see Pakistan in list - But as far Pakistan is concerned- As per my experience nutritional deficiencies is mostly in married women as compared to young/children - And it's somehow because of nature of Pakistani mothers than any discrimination - They always try to stuff their kids with everything available and don't take care of themselves. Haven't seen any discrimination as far as feeding the kids is concerned - However it will be false to claim that gender discrimination doesn't exist at all.

Fixing India

The quick official response to the horrific gang rape and murder of a young Indian woman shouldn’t fool us, writes Aruna Kashyap. The country has a long way to go when it comes to justice for rape victims.

MUMBAI—“You there! You are so dirty! Don’t sit on that chair!”

These were words that a woman in India—bloodied and soiled after she had been raped—heard when she sought help from a doctor. A social worker described this scene to me in 2010, recounting the kind of mistreatment she frequently witnessed when accompanying survivors of rape to hospitals.

Dr. Rajat Mitra of Swanchetan, a New Delhi–based group that supports survivors of violence, told me that when he accompanies rape victims to police stations or hospitals, officials often say things like, “Why are you crying? You have only been raped.” Such statements, while anecdotal, capture the insensitivity many rape survivors encounter when they approach police officers and doctors in India.

The prompt response of the police following last month’s brutal gang rape and death of a 23-year-old New Delhi student—investigating the case and arresting the accused men—was a good thing, but unfortunately it may have given the world the wrong idea about how rape cases are generally handled here.

For while that response is commendable, it is the exception, triggered primarily by the national outrage and protests following news reports of the rape. A far more common response I found in researching some of the challenges Indian women and girls face in seeking justice after sexual assault is a combination of delays, inaction, and degradation by the very officials who should be helping these victims. Dr. Mitra told me that their treatment by police and doctors “adds to their overall trauma after rape. Some of them just become numb. Others find the whole process entirely dehumanizing.”

The good news is that in the wake of the December attack, Indian authorities are now focusing on creating harsher criminal punishments for rapists. The country’s sexual-assault laws need reform to ensure the full range of sexual assault is punished in accordance with human-rights law, and that existing legal immunities—such as requiring government permission for the investigation and prosecution of police officials and other public servants—are eliminated. But prosecutions are only one piece of the puzzle; equally concerning is India’s cultural attitude toward survivors of sexual assault.

Changing these attitudes—for instance, the tendency to question a woman’s clothes and conduct, suggesting she “invited” or did not “resist” rape—won’t happen overnight. But the government can play a role in that change, and it must start now.

One key is establishing a mechanism for police accountability. Currently, police often refuse to register complaints, or recommend that families “compromise” cases, citing the “shame” it will bring to the survivor in the community. As a result, survivors of rape either do not come forward to report the offense or feel pressured to give up their fight for justice midway.

But we must also change our approach to medical treatment and examination of rape survivors. Often a woman who reports rape is treated merely as a “body of evidence,” rather than as a person who needs medical attention and care.

It doesn’t help that India has no uniform national standards and protocol for treatment and examination of survivors of sexual assault, or specialized training for police and doctors.

This lack of standards has adverse reproductive, sexual, and mental-health consequences for survivors of sexual violence. It also undermines the potential for successful prosecution, and perpetuates outdated stereotypes about rape during investigation and trials. Many police officials, doctors, and judges look for evidence of “struggles” or “injuries” in medical reports, with the assumption that all rape survivors should struggle and have visible injuries, especially injuries to the hymen, suggesting that those who do not report such visible injuries have “consented.” Many medical reports reinforce ideas of “virginity” by noting degrading findings about the “laxity” of the vagina and whether the survivor is “habituated to sex.”

Rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, have urged the Indian government to establish national standards for medical treatment and the collection of medical evidence in sexual-assault cases. There’s been some improvement on that count: India’s Health Ministry has developed a protocol that omits questions about whether the survivor is “habituated to sex,” but it does not prescribe any minimum standards for therapeutic care. The Indian government should consult with leading health and human-rights experts to further amend and introduce this protocol across India.

The government has also announced that it will introduce a program of monetary compensation to survivors of rape—but the scheme has yet to be rolled out. This would indeed be an important step forward, but would be far more effective when supported by other measures. For example, around-the-clock services for survivors, and a uniform protocol for medical care and examination backed by training for police officers and doctors to ensure its use. These should be coupled with mechanisms for monitoring the use of such protocols and accountability where they are being flouted.

When it comes to even thorny challenges like maternal mortality, the Indian government has shown that political will can reduce the scope of the problem. With politicians and the public at last giving sexual assault the attention it deserves, the time has come for action—and for dignified treatment of survivors of sexual assault.

Unsafe territory - Livemint

Delhi has been rocked by protests against the rape of a woman in the past few days. The safety of women in the capital and in India as a whole is at the heart of these protests. According to government data on crimes against women, the worst maltreatment is at the hands of family. Rape, molestation and sexual harassment put together come second. Further, while crimes against women are on the rise, the record of investigation, trial and conviction has worsened in some cases.

Its shameful as a human being not for a person having a particular nationality. Even sane and well educated people have such perverted views when it comes to women that i can't imagine what women might have to go through in places where they are treated with such contempt. I agree with @LoveIcon I personally have seen mothers being more careless while stuffing their own kids and neglecting themselves.

I wish it was this simple that 1% higher caste people are enjoying everything and other are neglected...ground realities in most parts of India are now very different...reservations have given lower caste people almost every thing including education and higher level jobs....but can I say the same thing about lower caste people in villages? No, sad reality today is that lower caste people in cities have become rich using reservations and their children still use reservations, this might seem alright on the exterior but this is actually denying the right of higher education & jobs to lower caste people from village areas.....Yes we have now come to a point where lower caste people of one caste from cities have upper hand over lower caste people of same caste from villages...

Then China's actual enemy is the group of ugly **** communist monkeys who rule Chinese people and spread the bull$hit propaganda that India and China were ancient friends and civilizations.

Your ugly PM Li Keqiang is one such clown. See what he says:

As two countries descended from ancient civilizations, China and India have created splendid cultures and enjoyed a traditional friendship.

Premier encourages youth participation in China-India cooperation - China.org.cn

First get rid of these ugly commie traitors, otherwise, these clowns will finish your China.
