WOMEN STUDIES
This paper focuses on the notion of women condition in different countries, different
societies and under different conditions, whether it is under the situation of some diseases like
HIV/AIDS or under the situation of rape, women are the prime victim and sufferer in all such
situations. Lack of rights and lack of safety mainly due to patriarchal rules of the society
regarding the women is the main cause for ill condition of women in the society.
Following the horrific incident, which is a gang rape that has happened in Delhi in the
year 2012, has risen the urge among women regarding their safety and rights (Krishnan, 2015, p.
255). After that incident, student started a remarkable movement against the sexual violence in
the country, this movement has forced the Indian government in every aspect to change the laws
regarding gender violence. During the time when this movement was continuing, another British
organization has emerged in the name of Freedom Without Fear Platform, which has refined the
concept of solidarity (Andharia, 2007, p. 1, line. 1-3). On nineteenth of March, a Lok Sabha in
the Parliament of India has debated and passed the law regarding anti rape. It was a long journey
which was full of hurdles, as it was not at all easy to convince with proper prove to show the law
makers to change a particular law, there were opponents, who simply said that westernization is
responsible for rape, coeducational schools are responsible, some even sniggered at female
counterparts and declared stalking is a courtship. The debate was a microcosm of the male
dominated views of those rulers of India (Wright, and Fulton, 2016). The motif of the protest has
been ignored and over looked a lot many times, even at first they blatantly thrown an anti women
bill, but due to mass pressure it had to pass the required laws, but again this came up with the
condition that only boys over 18 years of age will be under the law. The activist named Kavita
Krishnan of the All India Progressive Women’s Association (AIPWA), who is centrally
involved in the crusade against the sexual violence stated that the a rapist is a rapist no matter
