Violence against women in India

Violence against women in India means that some people hurt girls or women just because they are female. This is very wrong and not fair. It happens in many different ways, like hitting, hurting or touching them in ways they don't want. Girls and women can be hurt by family members, people they don't know, or even by people who are supposed to protect them like the police.

There are many reasons why this happens, but one of them is that some people believe that women are not as important as men and they can treat them badly. Another reason is that there are not enough laws or punishments to stop people from hurting women.

Many people in India are working to stop this from happening. They are making new laws to protect girls and women and punishing those who hurt them. They are also teaching boys and men that girls and women are equal to them and should be treated with respect.

It's important for everyone to understand that violence against women is wrong, and together we can make sure that girls and women in India are treated fairly and safely.
