Sexual attacks on women have become more common in India, where the police registered more than 31,000 rape cases in 2022 – an increase of 20 percent compared to 2021, according to the National Crime Records Bureau.
It is thought that the true figure can still be higher, still due to the stigma of sexual violence.
Cases of rape and sexual violence have been examined since the gang rape and killing a 23-year-old student in a New Delhi bus in 2012.
The attack led to mass protests and led to legislators to create rapid courts for rape cases and stricter penalties.
The rape law was amended in 2013 to criminalize stalking and voyeurism, and to lower the age at which a person can be tried as an adult aged 18 to 16.
In 2018 the government approved The use of the death penalty for people who have been convicted of raping children under the age of 12.
High -profile matters involving foreign visitors have drawn international attention to the issue.
Last year, in a video that was later removed, a Spanish tourist said his wife was raped in North India, while an Indian-American woman said she was raped in a hotel in New Delhi. In 2022 a British tourist was raped for her partner in Goa.
