The Dusserah season celebrated with fervour across the nation is all about worshiping womanhood in the nine forms of Goddess Durga. From ancient times, people had been worshiping her as Adi Shakthi.

Blackmailing\/ Defamation\/ Morphing\/ Fake Profile), Sexual Harassment, Indecent Representation of Women, Murder with Rape\/Gang Rape. Such crimes are increasing at an alarming pace in every nook and corner of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-343\" width=\"250\" height=\"365\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>Gravity of the Situation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Politicians, religious leaders, human rights activists and women\u2019s organizations continue lecturing on women empowerment and equal rights for women while the crimes against women continue unabated. The statistics of the NCRB reveals the harsh reality! \u201cA total of 4,05,861 cases of crime against women were registered during 2019, showing an increase of 7.3% over 2018 (3,78,236 cases). Majority of cases under crime against women under IPC were registered under \u2018Cruelty by Husband or His Relatives\u2019 (30.9%) followed by \u2018Assault on Women with Intent to Outrage her Modesty\u2019 (21.8%), \u2018Kidnapping &amp; Abduction of Women\u2019 (17.9%) and \u2018Rape\u2019 (7.9%). The crime rate registered per lakh women population is 62.4 in 2019 in comparison with 58.8 in 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, let\u2019s understand that all the above numbers are only the reported crimes of 2019 and try to figure out the fate of those that are not reported at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-344\" width=\"969\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga3.jpg 878w, https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga3-300x108.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga3-768x276.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga3-150x54.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga3-696x250.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 969px) 100vw, 969px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The depressing reality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"192\" height=\"208\" src=\"\">Apart from crimes, women also face a huge disparity in every home and the society at large right from a very early age. The irony is that every woman wishes that her daughter leads a blissful and independent life while the same women do not want their daughters-in-law to be so! Starting there, the differences continue in the distribution of household work, food, clothing and other amenities between boys and girls within the same family. The elders in several families turn a blind eye towards the abuse of the girl child by relatives and friends. Even today, many families curtail the freedom of girls in terms of education, extra-curricular activities, games, sports, friendship and hobbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-345\" width=\"957\" height=\"1041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga4-277x300.jpg 277w, https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga4-150x163.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga4-300x325.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga4-387x420.jpg 387w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 957px) 100vw, 957px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"248\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga5.jpg 248w, https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga5-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.newsfactory18.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/durga5-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Isn\u2019t it time for all of us to be fair towards the fair sex?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#fairsex #women #woman #crime #crimeagainstwomen #crimerecords #dusserah ##durga #shakthi #sakthi #religion #dowry #rape #trafficking&nbsp; #sexualharassment #daughter #daughterinlaw #ncrb #nationalcrimerecordsbureau #reported #police #court #reality<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Krishna Mohan KS krishmonks@gmail.com .
