Not only do they suffer from poverty but violence against women is practiced in India. Crime against women is defined as physical or mental cruelty to women. Statistically, there are as many as 2.24 million crimes committed against women over the past ten years. That is as much as once complaint every two minutes. Since 2005, violence against women has become more and more frequent. Women are enslaved and are no longer able to attend school. They believe women depend on men to do all the work and therefore can be treated badly. Not only is violence against women ruining their health, and social status, but also prevents all efforts of reducing poverty. If this issue isn’t addressed, the potential of girls and women will be put on hold.
