RAPE IN INDIA : TIME TO ACT
Suggestion by DR.M.A.ALEEM. M.D.D.M.,(Neuro) President Trichy Neuro Association Trichy Tamil Nadu India.
Violence against women is a major public health problem and violation of women human right. This form of violence can result in Physical, Mental, Sexual, reproductive health and other health problems and may increases vulnerability to HIV.
  • In our country one rape occur for every 22 minutes as per our National crime record bureau.
  • In 2012 at Delhi only about 600 rapes had taken place.
  • In India in 2011 almost 90% of violent crimes were committed against women or 228610 out of 256326 cases logged by the police. No one knows how many more went an reported.
  • Worldwide up to 50% of sexual assault are committed against girls under 16
  • Between 0.3 to 11.3 of women reported experiencing sexual violence since the age of 15 years
  • The First sexual experience for many women was reporter as forced one (in 17% to 30% )
  • About 30 to 40% of women suffer work place sexual harassment in Asian region

  • Sexual violence, particularly during childhood, can lead to increased smoking , drug and alcohol misuse, and risky sexual behaviors in later life. It is also associated with perpetration of violence (for males ) and being a victim of violence (for females).q
My Suggestion to prevent sexual offenses.
  • By Adopting our Tamilnadu chief minister Jayalalithaa's 13 point agenda to prevent sexual violence women which include Death for rape, Fast tract court for these offense, chemical castration, women help line and goondas act etc.
  • Women should not be very careless. Millions of Indian believes that women should not invite trouble on themselves by being careless.
  • Harmful effect and use of alcohol should he discouraged.
  • Sexual arousal through sending sexual text SMS,MMS, should be screened.
  • Allowing pornographic material rough cell phones, net, and Email,etc should be banned.
So …..

Conclusion:
*Need radical reforms ensure justice and reach out with robust public services to make w omen's lives more safe and secure. * Self discipline, safe behavior and stringent action will prevent rape in India. *India is the world’s largest democracy and one of the world’s largest economies. Its female citizens half the population – should not be living in constant fear.
