ABSTRACT: Gender-based violence in India is a pervasive phenomenon dating back to the Vedic period, rooted in caste-based hierarchies and entrenched patriarchal norms. Despite numerous legal reforms, under-reporting remains widespread, and the problem has only evolved—most recently through digital crimes against women. This paper examines the persistence of gender discrimination in India (the world’s fourth-fastest-growing economy), analyzes state-wise incidence rates, evaluates the impact of key legislation over time, and outlines policy and societal interventions needed to address these challenges.
