An 'enlightening article' with some statistics given which are food for thought.

2,13,585 was the number of crimes against women in India in 2010, as per National Crime Records Bureau

585 Crimes against women every day is what the NCRB figure translates into -----

-------- 45% of crimes against women are domestic violence cases,

-------- 28% is the conviction rate in rape cases,

-------- 33% is for dowry harassment cases, and

-------- 19% for domestic violence

-------- 2005 the year in which the government enacted a law to deal with domestic violence.
Really food for thought.
