Violence against women remains a critical issue in India, with Kerala witnessing 18,980 cases of violence reported in 2023, despite existing legal frameworks aimed at protection. The Women's Danger Index ranks India as the 9th most dangerous country for women, with other nations like South Africa and Brazil ranked even higher. Recent incidents, such as the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata, have sparked nationwide protests, highlighting the continuous threat of sexual violence faced by women in the country. Reports indicate that systemic failures persist despite legislative reforms aimed at deterring such crimes, with many women expressing fear and anxiety over their safety. The alarming frequency of reported rapes, which peaked at nearly 39,000 cases in 2016, remains a significant concern for society. Activists and victims' advocates call for urgent changes to ensure better protection and justice for women in India.
