India is not safe for Women

India is not safe for women!!! You may think that I gone mad or I am just giving hype to the title and trying to increase my traffic. Whatever it is, this is true. We are the one who follow great customs  and differ from the west in our traditions. We give importance to our family and we have our own belief of how a woman should be. Everything is right, but a recent poll conducted by Thomson Reuters Foundation that India is the 4th most dangerous country for women next to Afghanistan, Congo and Pakistan. Female foeticide, child marriage and trafficking are the major reasons behind this ranking. Home secretary Madhukar Gupta stated that 100 million people involving mostly women and children are involved in trafficking. More than 50 million girls are missing due to trafficking and foeticide. Almost 45 percent of girls are married before the age of 18. 90% of the trafficking cases are reported in India. It also says that 30 Lakh women are involved in prostitution among which 40% are below the age of 18. Compulsory marriage is also  the major problem.
