Every time a rape is committed, a huge hue and cry is raised against it and several protests are conducted. But what is the permanent solution to end this heinous crime against women? The saddest part is no age group among women is safe or immune from this crime. Rapists target innocent infants and the oldest of the women!
According to the Indian National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), in the year 2022, a total of 48,755 reports of crimes targeting women were documented, marking a 12.3% rise from the previous year's figures (43,414). The most prevalent areas for such crimes were ‘Cruelty by Husband or his Relatives’ (32.6%) followed by ‘Kidnaping & Abduction of Women’ (19.4%), ‘Assault on Women with Intent to Outrage her Modesty’ (17.9%), and ‘Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012’ (13.2%).

Few Solutions to Prevent Rape · ‘Rape culture’ should be curtailed and banned forever PERIOD · Boys should be sensitized and taught to respect girls and women from a young age · Laws of every country should be made so stringent that they act as a strong deterrent in the prevention of rape or any other crime. The state of West Bengal in India is passing a law to award capital punishment for rape. · Sex is a normal bodily need. Sex education should be provided to young people. The age-old institution of marriage should be respected. This provides a normal outlet for the fulfilment of sexual needs. · Marriages are becoming costlier by the day. What with abnormal demands of dowry and whatnot! In India and other South Asian countries, women need to pay dowry whereas in the Middle East, it is the opposite. · Since marriages are becoming costly, adultery and pornography have become easy. These evils should be curbed at all costs. · Above all, humanity should prevail. We should respect one another and our boundaries regardless of sex, religion, caste, language, creed, economic status, etc.
