As the world is leading in the technological improvement, advancement of material prosperity and so on... the rate of unnatural sex and violence with women is also on the way. Rapes and brutal murders have been so common now-a-days. Violence against women in the country is getting more frequent and alarmingly with huge sound. Violence against women is not a new or recent phenomenon women have been the victims of violence all through the age, in all societies, cultures regions or religious communities in the world. It is indeed, women have to bear the brunt of violence-domestic as well as public, physical as well as emotional and mental. Women generally face various kinds of crime like dowry death, sexual harassment, cheating, murder, girl child abuse, robbery etc. Violence against women which counted as crimes under the Indian Penal Code are rape, kidnapping and abduction, torture physically and mentally, dowry deaths, wife battering, sexual harassment, molestation, importation of girls, etc. The cases of violence against women is increasing day by day and becoming too broad. It is creating pressure and a heavy responsibility over the shoulders of every individual.
