"Where women are respected & God resides there.”

But at present, it is happening in the opposite direction. In our country, the number of women is decreasing compared to men. Between 0-6 years of age, the number of girls in the ration of 1000 boys is continuously declining from the year 1961. The number of girls is the year 1991 was 945 and in 2001 it decreased to 927 and in 2011 it was 918. People think daughters as the others wealth

 Also at same time Safety of Women in India has become a major issue in India now. The crime rates against women in the country have only risen to a great extent. Women think twice before stepping out of their homes, especially at the night. This is, unfortunately, the sad reality of our country that lives in constant fear.

Women in India have been given equal rights as men; however, people do not follow this rule. They contribute to the growth and development of our country; still, they are living in fear. Women are now on respected positions in the country, but if we take a look behind the curtains, we see even then they are being exploited. Each day we read about horrific crimes being committed against women in our country like it’s a norm.
