This report seeks to study the condition of women in prison in India and inform
action for improvement. An attempt has been made to build understanding on
the entitlements of women in prison, the issues faced by them and the possible
methods for resolution of the same.

Sexual abuse of children is an issue shrouded in ignorance and denial in our country. One of the chief reasons for this conspiracy of silence is the high value, almost idealization, of the family.

A society is judged by the way it treats its women and children. So is a judicial system. Nothing is more horrifying than the sexual abuse of a child: nothing more reprehensible than a judicial system that subsequently victimises the victim, police behaviour that adds terror to agony.
