Crimes against women continue unabated throughout India.
These indicate that women do not enjoy freedom and equal rights with men.
From 2008 to 2012, a number of incidents have been reported from Mumbai to Guwahati and throughout India, involving criminal assault, rape and murder of women. These have not attracted the attention they deserve to deal with underlying causes. Criminal investigation and prosecution are inefficient and ineffective. Prevention has not been the focus of administrators or social groups.
Read the New York Times report of July 2012 on the Guwahati incident.

For women to move about freely and safely in India is still a distant dream.
