“…women but also their families do not feel safe about women walking out of the house alone. The major reason behind this practice is the rising crime rate against women in India (Chakraborty et al 2021). Therefore, this study supports the social justice and security framework within this new participatory model for females, where the state and society should promote and provide security to females in public places.…”

In recent years, many countries have tightened the rules against harassment at the workplace and violence in the home. On the other hand, the incidences of sexual harassment in public places have not been paid sufficient attention, specifically against women. Developing countries like India have recorded the increment of sexual harassment cases in public places due to the increment in participation of women in outside activities such as education and employment. In India, the term ‘Eve-teasing’ is a euphemism that is used for sexual harassment in public places. Eve-teasing is identified as a significant problem in the patriarchal society of India that causes dreadful implications on women. The daily encounter with sexual harassment leads to a decline in their career and also socio-economic and political opportunities for them. In recent years, these misdeeds have been spread at every corner of our society and have become a national problem. Eve-teasing is not considered atrocious and strong laws have not been enacted to counteract it. To this end, this study has been conducted to identify the socio-psychological repercussions of Eve-teasing on girl cadets of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) aged between 19 and 24 years. Moreover, the significance of NCC in empowering the girl cadets in dealing with daily harassment is also the focus of the investigation. Particularly, the structural feminist approach is adopted to offer a critical framework to examine the patriarchal socialization of men and women as the most common cause of Eve-teasing. A total of 262 women participated in this study. The data were collected at the national camp of NCC held in New Delhi through a semi-structured questionnaire and focus group discussions from January 18 to 29, 2020. Out of the total respondents, 83.20% were exposed to Eve-teasing in their lives, while 15.26% of them did not disclose about such incidents. The study concludes by highlighting the negative implications of Eve-teasing on the life of adolescent females and also with disclosing their suffering and struggle. Although, the respondents were the cadets of the National Cadet Corps (NCC), which helped them to shape self-confidence to fight against such sexual harassment acts. Therefore, it is suggested to the governments (state and central) to emphasize the involvement of the agencies having similar goals as NCC in empowering the females in the early years.

“…The authors stated that in reality violence against women in India is much more that it appears to us (Chakraborty et al, 2021). The paper was based on data published by National Crime Record Bureau from 2001-02 to 2014-15.…”

Despite significant technological advancements, women's safety remains a pressing issue in modern society. Women face threats to their safety in various environments, including while traveling alone, on secluded roads, and in the workplace. Education plays a crucial role in empowering women and raising awareness about safety measures. Despite government and NGO efforts, violence against women continues to rise, with instances of harassment, abuse, eve-teasing, kidnapping, domestic violence, and rape persisting. While women have made strides in various fields, including sports, business, politics, and entertainment, safety concerns remain a significant challenge, especially for those working in the IT and corporate sectors, including night shifts. Sexual harassment in the workplace, including by supervisors or seniors, is a growing concern. Existing safety systems often overlook crucial features such as audio or video recordings, which could aid in identifying perpetrators and ensuring justice for women. To address these limitations, a Real-Time Intelligent System for Women's Safety is proposed, leveraging technologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science. This system aims to provide sophisticated yet user-friendly safety features, including live location sharing with authorities and contacts, predicting safe routes, recording evidence, and offering legal rights guidance for women in distress.

Women hold a significant and esteemed status in Indian society. The Vedas revered women as "DEVI" goddesses, extolling their qualities as mothers, creators, and givers of life. However, their exaltation was a little imaginary, since women in our patriarchal society in India were completely suppressed and subordinated at the same time. Because society insisted on holding fast to traditional ideas, Indian women across the nation continued to be subjugated and oppressed. This was the case for domestic as well as public, physical, emotional, and mental abuse. This Research analyse the reports and articles on crime against women in detail. The United States and its territories' National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) Report-2020 has been examined
