A recent report released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) indicate that there has been a significant rise in the number of registered cases of crimes against women and children in Delhi/NCR.

Sample this: the number of rape cases has seen a spurt from 706 in 2012 to more than double at 1,636 last year, while cases of assault on women with intent to outrage her modesty have spiked five times, from 727 to 3,515.

The total number of cases of crime against women have more than doubled from 2,853 to 5,920 cases during the same period. The total number of registered crime cases against women rose from 11,419 in 2011 to 12,288 in 2012, the figure nearly doubled last year at 21,887.

There are various reasons (societal, economic, etc.) for the rise in crimes against women and children, noted a release issued by the Indian Committee of Youth Organisations (ICYO), an umbrella organisation working in the area.

"Spurt in registration of cases in 2013 can be attributed to enactment of the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013, whereby non-registration of cases by the police u/s 166A of the IPC has been designated as criminal offence,'' it noted.

Meanwhile, with the city seeing a rise in the number of missing children (four children go missing in a day), kidnapping and human trafficking, a global report on "Trafficking in Persons'' released by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) earlier this week noted that one in three known victims of human trafficking is a child, and girls and women are particularly targeted and forced into "modern slavery".

According to the report, girls make up two out of every three child victims. The National Crime Records Bureau notes that girl gets trafficked once every eight minutes in India. The money generated through the sex trade stands at a whopping $ 343 billion a year.
