CRIME AGAINST WOMEN

From-link
 Women's violence is a problem all throughout the world. Women of all races, geographical groupings, social classes, and nationalities are affected. For a single woman, it is a life-threatening situation. In almost all societies, regions, cultures, and religious communities in India, women have been victims of violence for many years. Women in Indian society are subjected to a wide range of forms of violence, including personal, public, physical, social, emotional, and mental. Violence against women has a long history and continues to be done without a positive change.

   Even as people's knowledge levels rise, it is            becoming increasingly complex and rooted in         Indian society. Ineffective legal systems,                inadequate rules    of law, and male-dominated      social and political   structures are all the main        reasons for crime against   women. In the medieval period, the conflict between   two major cultures    Islam and Hinduism greatly   increased violence against women. Young girls were    obliged to marry at a young age and follow to the   Purdah system in society. Except for their husband   and family, they were cut off from the rest of the  world. Crime against women begins at home at a   young age and is mostly done by family members,  relatives, neighbours, and friends. Other major kinds of crime include female infanticide, the dowry system, and bride-killings. Women also face a lack of nutritious food, proper check-ups, forced and unwanted marriages, educational opportunities, sexual abuse of girls, rapes ,acid attacks, honour killings and brutal behaviour by husbands and in-laws, sexual harassment in public, at home or at work etc.

The Mumbai Police Department has developed the Nirbhaya Squad, which consists of female policemen, to fight eve teasing, sexual harassment, and other crimes against women. These squads consist of specially trained female and male officers and they patrol across Mumbai 24x7.You can reach out to them by dialing 103 on your phone. In some states, in addition to the Special Police Unit for Women and Children, there is a separate crime against women cell.

INTERSECTIONAL FEMINISM

We all are familiar with the ‘F’ word today. I am talking about feminism, obviously! So... from- pinterest         Feminism is an idea, a movement, a structure started by the women in our society, prominently from 174 years long. Along with the passing years, the definition and the aim of feminism kept changing and we today need to understand intersectionality and feminism together. The fight was first about equality between men and women, now the fight stands to vanish the discrimination of hierarchies, of social structures like gender, caste, race, ethnicity, sexuality, ability and class. So, unfortunately equality can’t be achieved just by smashing patriarchy. When it comes to the section of gender, there are various hierarchies like- we will quite generally solve the social status of cisgender women first, and then the transgender’s. Consider caste in it-   a transgender dalit women who wants to get married to a heterosexual man, but that wouldn’t be accepte...

MARGINALISED GENDER IN LITERATURE

  Change is a necessary element to any field subjective or objective, to widen  its perspective.  from- link Literature, which was inherently a male dominated field, was revolutionised by the slow intrusion and inclusion of marginalised genders. In earlier days access to literature of any language required a mastery in language which was unfortunately only a privilege that the men of the family had. Yet there were unconventional people, who believed that their daughters deserved as much of right in the field of language as their sons. Many extraordinary personalities were born of this. but unfortunately literary piece written by a woman was looked down upon, considered unequal to the ones written by male. We might as ourselves, how to solve this problem and somehow reach out to people with our words? Could we believe that the society held its prejudice so high and mighty, such cruel and insensible discriminations that people would rather lose their identity than their art...
