ABSTRACT
As per 2011 Census of India, out of the total population of 1210.19 million, the female population comprised of 586.47 million i.e., 48.5%. Thus, making for almost half of the population of the country, which lags behind greatly in terms of development, even though the constitution of India has granted men and women equal rights. They are not able to fulfill their basic needs and rights, such as education, health care, employment etc. This not only violates their fundamental rights but also human rights. Even though, the laws on rape, dowry and adultery have women’s safety at heart, but these highly discriminatory practices are still taking place at an alarming rate.
