Abstract

The global issue of violence against women transcends age, culture, and socioeconomic status, impacting women universally. This paper delves into the prevalence of crimes against women, investigates their root causes and consequences, and evaluates the interventions implemented to combat this pressing issue. This paper surveys multiple studies examining crimes committed against women in defiance of legal and societal norms, ultimately asserting that gender discrimination, stereotypes, and patriarchal attitudes serve as primary drivers behind such violence. Its also identifies several forms of crime against women, such as domestic violence, sexual assault, harassment, and trafficking. The impact of crime against women is both physical and psychological, affecting their health, well-being, and social status. Furthermore, it perpetuates gender inequality, which affects women’s access to education, employment, and political participation.
