acid attacks, and dowry deaths, rose by nearly 40% to 338,954
between 2012 and 2016, according to the National Crime
Records Bureau
• Human trafficking poses yet another challenge. Some 15,000
such cases were recorded in India in 2016, and two-thirds
involved female victims, many under the age of 18, sold into sex
work or domestic servitude.
IS INDIA REALLY THAT UNSAFE?
• In Iran, certain universities ban female students from studying
specific subjects, usually those concerning engineering and
technology.
• In Israel, a woman needs her husband’s permission to get a
divorce.
• In Saudi Arabia, there is no penal code and no written law
which specifically criminalises rape or prescribes its
punishment.
