In 2022, the total number of rape cases reported in India amounted to over 31 thousand. This was a slight decrease in rape cases compared to the previous year. Even though many rapes are not reported in the country, it is an issue that continuously makes news headlines, some leading to public protests. Although reports of rape have increased in recent years, it was still associated with shame for the victim, rather than the perpetrator. The justice system  A victim of rape in India not only experiences social stigmatization but what is more, her fight for justice is not made easy due to the system that often faults the victim for their misfortune. Instances have been reported where victims are confronted with hostile conditions at police stations and have been often pressured to withdraw their cases. However, once a case goes to trial, it can take decades before anything is resolved. Rape cases in particular, face huge backlog where the number of new cases supersede the number of cases disposed every year. The process is arduous and could add so much trauma to the victim’s life that they often buckle under pressure from family of their own or that of the perpetrator.  Women in India India is known to be one of the most dangerous countries in the world for women. Indian women are constantly in a state of high alert when alone on the streets, at work or in the markets. Due to India’s predominantly patriarchal nature, domestic violence is known to be culturally acceptable. Studies reveal that even a majority of working women suffer domestic abuse from their husbands. A non-earning woman’s position further exacerbates vulnerability and dependence on their male partner as opposed to a woman who contributors financially to the household. Rampant poverty across the country is the main driver for low literacy rates and consequently, disempowerment and abuse among women.

What is affordable housing?

The right to housing is recognized as one of the very basic human rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations. The basic aim is to provide shelter for every human. The next step is to establish “adequate housing”. Thereby, a few conditions must be met to differentiate basic shelter from adequate housing. One of these conditions is affordability. From a broader perspective, affordability can be measured by correlating income and housing expenses. From a narrower perspective, the costs for housing must not compromise other basic rights such as the right to food or family well-being.

Government schemes on affordability

Indian governments since independence have focused on the issue of affordable housing in the context of poverty reduction. In 2015, the government announced a “housing for all” program that aimed at providing a safe home to every Indian by 2022. The existing Indira Awas Yojana was renamed in Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in the same year and split into one scheme for the urban and one for the rural population. Furthermore, the introduction of Real Estate Regulation Authorities in 2017 is meant to increase transparency on the market and strengthen the rights of buyers.

Demographics The youth in the capital city of Delhi prefer to use public transport, and it is known to be one of the best public transport networks in the country.
