Explanation:

Indian society is a complex society, where there is a great cultural delay in human rights with respect to the West. The caste system is still operational in this country, with which there is a great differentiation in terms of the rights of the members of the higher castes with respect to those of the lower castes.

While it is true that in large cities like New Delhi or Mumbai, women are, because of their visibility, acquiring new rights, in rural areas this situation does not occur. In these areas, women continue to function as another resource for men, who exploit and use them without regard to their rights.

India has a huge population of more than 1,500,000,000 inhabitants, who live in a large territory, most of them under extreme poverty. Therefore, it is practically impossible for the government to measure the living conditions of women in areas far from large cities.

Amnesty International and other associations constantly denounce the abuses to which women are subjected: sexual abuses, forced abortions, murders and slavery are the most serious.
