How scary is it for women to travel to India?

In fact, there are more than two incidents of female tourists being injured and Indian women being sexually assaulted and violently injured in India. Therefore, when traveling to India, even local tourists will advise female tourists: " If you are not afraid of getting pregnant, just take the bus!”

According to a report by the British “Times”, there is a special expression in daily English in India called “Eve-teasing”, which refers specifically to various kinds of things. Sexual assault – from verbal harassment to sexual assault. This shows that sexual assault in India is serious and has become a social phenomenon.

Extended information:

Women’s rights in India are undoubtedly low, but female leaders of the country’s elite are not uncommon. For example, Mrs. Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi. Judging from the political structure, women are still respected, but these upstarts all come from "high-caste" families. They have strong family backgrounds and are more likely to win female votes, so they "do their part".

Unfortunately, as women, they did not bring blessing to the lower class female people. In response to the serious phenomenon of sexual assault, the Indian government has introduced some policies, such as banning girls from wearing bikinis on the beach and advising girls not to go out at night. None of these policies target rapists, but rather regulate women and undermine women’s power. Completely putting the cart before the horse. How ironic.
