Disturbingly, 192 women faced rape attempts, and 163 women have been murdered by their husbands. Global estimates published by WHO say that about 35% of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or intimate partner or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. What we need to do first in order to address this crisis is point out and eliminate the root causes. What we need is the robust enforcement of all the pertinent laws. It is the need of the hour that the laws be applied properly and in a timely manner by ensuring exemplary punishment for the perpetrators.
