The
various Indian governments have introduced many laws for women’s safety in
India. Yet, this problem remains a serious one till today. In the case of Unnaao rape
incident, the victim has lost her father
, two aunts and battling for life in the hospital along with her lawyer in addition, to fighting for justice all
along in the courts , despite meager resources . The UP government is not ashamed of the highest
crime rate against women (14. 5
%) nor was it prompt in taking stern action against the ruling party member and the lawmaker for
indulging in all sorts of atrocities in
this case. This silent spectator attitude of the party
high commands only emboldens the political class to violate laws . But for the
intervention of the Supreme court, justice to the victim would not have been
done. But ,the worrying part of this whole incident is that, if the victims of
crimes against women will get gender
justice only from courts then, what is the use of women safety laws? How many women have the resources for legal
battle
