Abstract

The issue of crimes against women has been a matter of concern, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only worsened this situation. The United Nations has labeled this surge in gender-based violence cases as the "Shadow Pandemic," particularly noting the alarming rise within homes. This research seeks to comprehend the scale of crimes against women in India and compare the situations before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. To achieve this, the study employs a descriptive research design and quantitative analysis, drawing mainly from secondary sources like the National Crime Records Bureau. The analysis sheds light on various forms of violence against women, including rape-murder, dowry deaths, abetment to suicide, and other types of abusive behaviors. During the lockdown period, there was a significant decrease in reported cases, with the exception of cyber-crimes, which saw a notable 45% increase. However, after the lockdown, the number of crimes against women rose once again. The study underscores the urgent necessity to address and prevent such offenses to safeguard the safety and wellbeing of women.
Covid-19封锁对印度针对妇女犯罪的影响
针对妇女的犯罪问题一直令人关切,新冠肺炎疫情更是雪上加霜。联合国将这种基于性别的暴力案件的激增称为“影子流行病”,特别注意到家庭暴力案件的惊人增长。该研究旨在了解印度针对女性的犯罪规模,并比较新冠疫情爆发前后的情况。为了实现这一目标,该研究采用了描述性研究设计和定量分析,主要来自国家犯罪记录局等二手资料。该分析揭示了针对妇女的各种形式的暴力,包括强奸谋杀、嫁妆死亡、教唆自杀和其他类型的虐待行为。在封锁期间,报告的案件数量大幅减少,但网络犯罪的报告数量明显增加了45%。然而,在封锁之后,针对妇女的犯罪数量再次上升。该研究强调,迫切需要处理和预防此类犯罪,以保障妇女的安全和福祉。
