The number of civil and criminal cases filed by women across all states is low.

The 2012 gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old woman in Delhi led to a significant expansion of public awareness about crimes against women. Despite this, the data reflect a culture of reluctance or fear when it comes to women reporting crime against themselves and the lack of avenues for women to be able to file cases.

Using the National Judicial Data Grid, which was created under the eCourts project of the Centre’s Department of Justice, the authors of this article found that women file just 8.6% of the total number cases in India in 2021. Only 6.07% of the total criminal cases and 15.9 % of total civil cases were filed by women.

A comparison of the National Judicial Data Grid of criminal cases filed by women with the National Crime Record Bureau data of reported crimes against women showed that the number of criminal cases filed by women is far greater than the number of crimes reported against women.

From this, we infer that a larger proportion of criminal cases lodged by women are not about crimes against the individual herself: these might be criminal cases that she is lodging on behalf of her children or other family members.
