Violence against women and girls is a grave violation of human rights. Its long-term consequences ranges from multiple physical, sexual and mental consequences for women and girls including death. Violence against women not only affects the women general well-being but also affects their families, communities and the country at large. Laws have been enacted against domestic violence, sexual assault and other forms of violence in many countries but challenges remain in how these laws have been implemented till now. But result shows that not enough is done to prevent violence and when it does occur, it often goes unreported. From the findings of this study, it is clear that safety of women will remain a concern and will require a prolonged preventive strategy on a positive note. Some of the legislatures, policies and development measures initiated by the previous as well as present Government of India will transform society and strengthen transparency and may possibly bring down the crime rates to zero.
