This document discusses violence against women in India and proposes ways to promote women's empowerment and ensure their safety. It notes that while women have made achievements in various fields, systematic discrimination and issues like inadequate nutrition, limited access to education/health, domestic violence, and sexual violence restrict women's freedom. It provides statistics on crimes against women like rape, dowry deaths, and female infanticide. To address this, it calls for recognizing women as equal partners rather than subservient beings, reducing poverty and gender injustice, and eradicating social evils through sustained awareness of women's rights.
