Statistics show that every year more than 1 lakh women in India file a complaint of cruelty by their husbands or in -laws. Shalini is not alone. Statistics show that every year more than 1 lakh women in India file a complaint of cruelty by their husbands or in -laws. According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), between 2012 and 2022, about 13 lakh cases were reported.
In 2012, 1.1 lakh women reached the police station. This number reached 1.4–1.5 lakh by 2022. Not only the number, but the rate of incidents on lakh women also increased from 17.9 to 20.9. This means that despite increasing population, incidents of domestic violence on women are constantly going up.
Why “house” still not safe?
The biggest irony for the society is that the house which is considered to be the place of safety of women, the same house is causing fear and pain for them. Despite education, jobs and modernity, statistics show that the walls of mental and physical violence are still as strong.
Social workers believe that increasing number of complaints also shows that women are no longer silent. But at the same time it is also true that millions of women still do not reach the police station due to fear, shame and social pressure.
Many questions arise
So, despite the strict law, domestic violence cannot stop? Is it still difficult to honor women within the family or most important, do we still want to silence the victim woman by calling it “shut up”?
Experts believe that the solution to the problem will come not just law, but by changing the mindset in the society. Conversations will have to be increased in families, create sensitivity towards women and make every effort to make them financially and mentally strong.
Millions of women like Shalini are still carrying the burden of silence in the boundary wall of the house. The question is, how long will we continue to ignore this silence? these figures Even though you raise anxiety, every recorded complaint is also evidence that women do not want to remain silent anymore. If society and law stand together with them, then tomorrow the coming can change. Perhaps only then the house will really be able to become a safe place for women, where there is no fear but trust and respect.
