They are encountered with different types of violation to their rights till today. Indian society is still very much influenced by the patriarchal norms, which strongly hold the notion that men have the right to control and exercise their authority over women and this gender norm even justified several types of violence inflicted on women to control their behavior. Even though, there are several constitutional as well as legal provisions to safeguard and protect women, due to lack of awareness, inadequate policing and judicial practices, customary practices and traditional attitudes, women continued to face severe discrimination and different forms of harassment. This paper is centered on the various types of discrimination and violence faced by women and an urgent need to stop them.
