Afghanistan ,Congo ,Pakistan
Situation in India:-
West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh have earned the dubious distinction of leading a list of
states where crime against women in 2011 was highest.
With 7.5 per cent share of the country's population, West Bengal accounted for nearly 12.7
per cent of total crime against women by reporting 29,133 cases.
The National Crime Records Bureau figures show that Andhra Pradesh, accounting for
nearly 7 per cent of the country's population, recorded 12.4 per cent of total crime against
women with 28,246 cases.
Madhya Pradesh reported the highest number of rape cases (3,406) accounting for 14.1 per
cent of total such cases reported in the country.
Rape cases have been further categorised as incest rape and other. Incest rape cases have
decreased by 7.3 per cent from 288 cases in 2010 to 267 cases in 2011 as compared to 9.2
per cent increase in overall rape cases.
Maharashtra (44 cases) has accounted for the highest (15.3 per cent) incest rape cases.

6. Rapid Response Women Help Department(RRWHD)
RRWHD is the solution of 3 root reasons which is obtained by “manthan” of all reasons.
Crime against women is exponentially increasing giving statements , or some suggestion is not
a required solution its just a part .A proper structure is required to curb overall situation.1 and 3
are normal and already planed in government agenda but 2nd is new idea and it is missing in
all proposals.
RRWHD will have 3 units-
1. RJU (Rapid justice Unit)
2. MWCU(Mock Women Condition Unit)
3. RTFCU(Rapid Task Force For Criminals unit)
7. RJU (Rapid justice Unit)

RTFCU(Rapid Task Force
For Criminals unit)

accused persons and help MWC
unit in their operations
RJU is same as Fast Track Court that was given by Eleventh Finance Commission .
In which proposal of creation of 1734 Fast Track Courts (FTCs) in the country for disposal
of long pending Sessions and other cases.
The Ministry of Finance sanctioned an amount of Rs. 502.90 crores as “ special problem and
upgradation grant” for judicial administration.

The STF proved to be very successful in capturing criminals and controlling
crimes in UP. Since then it has been an integral part of UP police And same is
Required for RTFCU.
8. MWCU(Mock Women Condition Unit)
Creating awareness through a large network of volunteers managed
centrally is an innovative way to address the present condition at any place
then improve it by street play and special task operations with the help of
RTFCU in which MWCU will create a fake situation where any one can easily
do the crime without knowing it is an operation for example-A girl on desolate road
.
Arresting the criminals before they do any bigger crime is so much necessary
and these type of operations create fear in their mind and they’ll think twice
before doing any shameless activity.

Establish RJU head
office in every states
capital and a office in
every major city where
anyone can report

Contact all the members
and create an calendar
consist of annual activities.
Contact colleges and recruit
volunteers.
Street play competition
among colleges 2 time
in a year
Special operation with the
help of RTFCU
Every state has one
RTFCU it would be
part of police
department but
funding should be
provided by RRWHD
RJU MWCU RTFCU
It is long process
and can be hanged
b/w slow
government system
Failure of special
operation cause
opposite effect so
extra safety is
needed
Co-ordination
