    New Delhi: The National Commission for Women (NCW) received nearly 31,000 complaints of crime against women last year, the highest since 2014.

    More than half of these cases were from Uttar Pradesh alone.

    Crime complaints against women increased by 30 percent in 2021 compared to 2020, when 23,722 complaints were received.

    According to official NCW data, out of 30,864 complaints, a maximum of 11,013 were related to the right to live with dignity. This was followed by 6,633 complaints related to domestic violence and 4,589 related to dowry harassment.

    Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state, recorded the highest number of complaints of crimes against women at 15,828, followed by Delhi at 3,336, Maharashtra at 1,504, Haryana at 1,460 and Bihar at 1,456.

    According to statistics, the highest number of complaints related to the right to live with dignity and domestic violence were received from Uttar Pradesh.

    The number of complaints received by NCW since 2014 was the highest last year. A total of 33,906 complaints were received in 2014.

    Commission chief Rekha Sharma had earlier said that the increase in complaints is because the commission is making people more aware of their work.

    Apart from this, the commission has always worked to start new initiatives to help women, Sharma said. Accordingly, we have started a round the clock helpline number to provide support services to the needy women and to register their complaints.

    From July to September 2021, over 3,100 complaints were received every month, with the last more than 3,000 being received in November 2018, when India’s ‘MeToo’ movement was at its peak.

    According to NCW data, 1,819 complaints have been received regarding offenses of outraging modesty or molestation of women, 1,675 complaints of rape and attempt to rape, 1,537 complaints of police apathy towards women and 858 complaints of cyber crimes.

    Akanksha Srivastava, founder of Akanksha Srivastava Foundation, a non-profit organization that works towards providing information on cyber security, said, “It is a good thing if complaints increase, because it means more women have the courage to speak up. And now there is a platform for this and they know where to complain.

    He said, ‘People are complaining now. Earlier women did not come forward to register their complaints. She did not know that the pain she is going through is harassment but now she is understanding it, so she is also coming forward to file a complaint, which is a good thing.
