violence against women

The consumerist culture has become a cancerous growth in Kerala’s once-golden culture. In nearly every home, there is purposeful, ostentatious display of consumerism, paving the way for an unhappy, highly criminalized society with increasing levels of sexual harassment and violence against women.

India legal news reports indicate that incidents of violence against women are increasing in India. The latest statistics reveal that every third minute a case of violence against women is reported in India. Nearly 50 cases of dowry related violence are registered. To save family honor and reputation, many cases of sexual harassment and violence against women are not reported.

Domestic violence is a serious issue faced by several Indian women. Indian women are known to tolerate it in silence because they want to protect family honor and endure it for the sake of their children.
