What a woman is wearing, what and how much she had to drink, and where she was at a certain time is not an invitation to rape. It's her freedom of life in which way she wants to be. But we blame by these. 

If these are curtailed then will you guarantee that tomorrow we won't see any rape cases? 

A type of sexual assault initiated by one or more persons against another person without that person's consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, or where the person is under threat or manipulation, or with a person who is incapable of valid consent. Is termed rape. 

In India, I think not even a single day passes without hearing about rape cases. 

In term, rape has been legally defined under section 375 of IPC 1860.

In the judgment "vishakha and others vs the State of Rajasthan," the Supreme Court of India held sexual harassment is a violation of our fundamental rights under articles 14,15,19(1) and 21. 

Odisha's rape victim was just three years old and the Banda victim was just eight years old and the Hathras victim was just 19 years old. The Bulandshahr girl who was raped and then set on fire was also just 12 years old and the recent incident shook me in Hyderabad. A girl was just 6 years old who was brutally raped and killed by a rapist. If we take the list it goes on and on… .. 

Despite framing stringent laws especially after the 2012 Nirbhaya case in the capital still, we were facing for every 16 minutes rape according to NCRB reports. And dowry death for every hour. 

The problem with Indian society is that whenever any rape happens only the victim is questioned and not the rapist. 

The power structure in the Indian patriarchal society is a reason for the inconsistent police response to rapes. 

In Blaming provocative clothing: There's a tendency to assume the victims of sexual violence somehow brought it on themselves. In a 1996 survey of judges in India, 68 percent of the respondents said that provocative clothing is an invitation to rape. 

In response to the recent gang-rape incident, a legislator in Rajasthan suggested banning skirts as a uniform for girls in private schools, citing it as the reason for increased cases of sexual harassment.

But the shocking fact is the minor girls are sexually abused and molested by someone they already know or someone who is known in their family that could be their neighbors or relatives. 

10 ways to stop rapes

1. Let's make the term 'sex' familiar because we Indians talk about it less and do it more that what our population shows. let sex education should be taught from our parents and it should not be hidden. Sex education should have been taught in our schools and we should have to make awareness about it by conducting campaigns. 

2. Now it's time to make our laws more stringent because sometimes the accused do get bail because of lack of evidence in many cases and also the accused gets sheltered by police, politicians, and even by lawyers. And also having more female police because most women say they wouldn't even think of telling the police about attacks from fears because they might be mocked by them or they perhaps again abused and blamed them.

3. By increasing more surveillance in the cities and having more CCTV cameras in every corner of the streets because in the street we resume that no one takes care of anything. the rapist will have a notion that this is a saying called "if a cat is drinking milk with its closed eyes, it will imagine that no one is watching me".watching eyes should increase. 

4. Till now society has restricted women's mobility in the name of safety but now it's time to restrict the mobility of men in the name of laws because it gives them a feeling of insecurity as a women facing. Of course! this might not happen but I had wished this should be done. 

5. Influence of drugs and alcohol help the accused to forget all about everything. So curtailing this we might not face these issues, because in many of the cases the accused will be a drug addict and he has an alcohol addiction. 

6. The only solution that most people say is killing criminals instead of killing the crime. Because if we trace history we will find that punishment solely can't curb but should be a compilation of all factors which I had mentioned above. 

7. Experts say that deep-seated patriarchy has created a "second class" status for women in India. This should be erased because when we have the notion that women are equal to men, then society will be heaven. 

8.Increasing the safety of women in the public domain and allocating enough budget for the safety of women in society. 

9.Before they punish one great deal for being a citizen to see them talk about in detail why they have done and what they have done. I really would like to hear from them because once that all of us know what he thinks of her. Then we will figure out who speaks like that and we can assess that, is there some person I know, who might have the exact thoughts as a rapist. 

But this should be open to all because this will create more fear, the fact that he was thinking like me and talking like me. I might have those thoughts, I might have spoken or I might not have spoken. But the fact that this kind of thinking leads to barbaric deeds and this gives us self-realization in oneself. It's like in a sense that raising our thoughts and our inner dark desires. I wish this is what needs to be needed.

10. In combination of all viz public sex education, awareness raising campaigns and law and legislation making stringent. and rather than calling them victims they should be treated as Survivals, and giving support, and having a zero-tolerance policy for sexual exploitation.
