Abstract

Abuse against women is a severe issue that can emerge at any time during peace or conflict. This abuse or violence or crime can occur anywhere-at home, on the street, at work, in jails, etc.-and ranges in severity from very minor teasing to rape and murder. People who are accused of crimes against women rarely actually receive punishment. There are fewer crimes against women reported, and even fewer are prosecuted. Without detailed incidence research, it is difficult to make recommendations for reducing, if not eliminating, such violence. To better understand the mentality of the perpetrators, more study on this violence is critically needed. To create plans to reduce violence, it is necessary to investigate violence in great detail. The accused must receive swift and severe punishment, which would also serve as a deterrent. Any culture that claims to be civilized must reevaluate its claim when half of its citizens lack security.
