Originally Published 2 years ago — by CBS News
The fatal stabbing of a 16-year-old girl in public in Delhi has sparked outrage and concerns about women's safety in India. The victim was allegedly killed by her boyfriend, who was later arrested. The incident has highlighted the rising cases of crimes against women in India, which experts believe are rooted in societal patriarchy, lack of education, and sensitivity. India recorded over 1,173 daily cases of crimes against women on average in 2021, an increase of 15% over the previous year. Activists are calling for education programs to address gender sensitivity in classrooms and for school dropouts.
