SAFETY OF WOMEN AND THE NARCOTICS SPREAD IN INDIA


According to 'Women, Peace and Security Index 2021', India ranks 148 out 170 countries in the world in safety of women. In 2019 it was 133 out of 167. As per NCRB data of 2021 India registered 86 rape cases daily and 49 cases of crime against women every hour. The report further reveals that while 3,71,503 cases of crime against women reported in 2020, it became 4,28,278 with a 15.3% increase in 2021.

Crime against women in Kerala are given below:
2017 - 14,263
2018 - 13,643
2019 - 14,293
2020 - 12,659
2021 - 16,418
2022 - 10,932

Narcotics might be having a significant role in crime against women. Hence it goes to the police and excise departments other than the government to ward off the menace from the country. School teachers and religious leaders role to prevent narcotics from the society can have unbelievable results. Others who are responsible for the pitiful condition of women in our country are the educationalists, sociologists, religious leaders, politicians and to some extent the media. The educationalists should have put their best efforts long back to restructure the school syllabus incorporating the urgent issues like safety of women, narcotics, alcoholism, corruption etc. The sociologists of the country should have reached every sects of the society with warning and corrective methods on these matters. Similarly the religious leaders should advise their respective people. Politicians are the one who are deeply related with all sections of the society, local administration and the governance. And they are being the law makers too, can play a much result oriented role in this matter. Above all the media can play a bigger role for quick results in moulding all sections of the society against the use of narcotics.
