TITLE OF THE PAPER: Legislature For Women: An Analysis. ABSTRACT1 Since ancient times, women are very vulnerable to crimes. Efforts have been made to improve the position of women and thus, reduce the crimes against the women. Despite all such efforts no such improvement could be recognised in the society with reference to the daily news. Rabindra Nath Tagore once said "Oh Lord why you have not given woman the right to conquer her destiny why does she have to wait head bowed, By the Roadside, waiting with tired patience, hoping for a miracle in the morrow." This statement clearly shows the disappointing image of Indian legislature. Present laws and past events scholarship analyses various crimes against women in India monolithically. The standard analysis holds that crimes against women in this recent day are growing day by day which is unbearable in every possible need. They were exploited in major point of time in the area of sexuality. Though there are so many laws present in the statute but this are kept in Pen & paper. Every day in newspaper we can find that -girls are sexually harassed or raped and also cause to die. Hence the empowerments which are being given by the grace of democracy or the so called constitutional aspect are in danger. The beasts of our society do such crimes in a very rampant way. The recent amendment of the criminal law may be a stringent one but the statistic says that the quantity of the crime also cannot be stopped. This paper is divided into three parts: the first part of this paper deals with what are the crimes happening against women and the laws related to those crimes. The second part analyses the present status of such laws and then the third i.e. the conclusion part derives out the final conclusion with some suggestions. 1 Kanishk Devesh, Neelam Meshram (National Law Institute University, Bhopal) Page | 2
