Abstract: Women have experienced all aspects of life, from grandeur and respect during the Vedic period to denial and servitude during the post-Vedic period. They even fought for the modern-day struggle for equality, acknowledgment, and existence. Violence, physical abuse, denial of the right to life, subordination, and neglect have all been perpetrated against women. Eveteasing, molestation, sexual assault, and rape are examples of abuses that are frequently referred to as sexual harassment or sexual misbehaviour. The evidence is all around us; women's voices are increasingly being heard in Parliament, the courts, and on the streets. From the beginning, India's Constitution granted women equal rights to males. Unfortunately, owing to illiteracy and restrictive traditions, most women in this country are uninformed of their rights. In India, there have been around 32000 murders, 19,000 rapes, 7500 dowry deaths, and 36500 molestation instances registered against women, and these are the approximate numbers, which are rising by the day. And these are only the incidents that have been recorded; most rapes and molestation crimes go unreported owing to the risk of losing family reputation in the society.
