India has been fighting for centuries for the cause of equality for women in order to establish social justice. The stories related to women and injustice is a recurring episode in the country. The Delhi Rape case has created a milieu which has brought forth many cases related to the prejudice faced by the women in the country. Atrocities on women have just increased. If a mentally and psychologically sound woman is unsafe then what about the safety of the mentally handicapped group? Mentally handicapped group is an easy target since they cannot tell anybody about the crime nor can they do anything to save themselves. The measures and laws should be framed to guard the securities of physically and psychologically abnormal women along with those of the general category, which will meet the justice to womenfolk in true sense.

Atrocities on women, both in urban and rural India, are a blot on our collective conscience and a matter of great shame. We should now join our hands together, come forward and fight for the atrocities on womenfolk so that we could make this world a more better and safer place to live in.
