  1. in India.
  2. The rate that crimes were committed against women is higher
  3. than a lot of other places in the world, with
  4. more than 300,000 crimes being reported in 2016 alone.
  5. And that's just what was reported.
  6. There's actually estimated to be around 650 million crimes, including
  7. what did not get reported in this story.
  8. I'll be discussing two cases of violence and discrimination against
  9. Indian women and the protests going on because of them.
  10. And while protests aren't really a mark of a good
  11. society, they are markets good people in the society, which
  12. I believe is just a ZX important.
  13. Okay, first, there are currently lots of protests going on
  14. all around India for justice for the woman who died
  15. of injuries sustained through a gang rape.
  16. These protests are being held in hopes that the four
  17. men who were notably in a much higher caste in
  18. the woman who received the punishment they deserve one of
  19. the bigger reasons they haven't been charged yet is because
  20. they're in a very high caste.
  21. While the woman herself was in a lower caste that
  22. I believe was considered one of the untouchables which is
  23. very unfortunate, and since this is a recent story, there
  24. is no resolution yet as far as I know.
  25. But the fact that people are fighting for this woman
  26. to receive justice is incredibly important.
  27. Now let's talk about the Sabari Moloch Temple the Onley
  28. people allowed in.
  29. Traditionally, our men and I believe girls who have not
  30. had their first menstruation cycle yet.
  31. Once they've had their first administration cycle, they're effectively banned
  32. from entering that temple.
  33. But around the end of 2018 2 women entered the
  34. temple. Despite this, this action was heavily opposed by the
  35. Bardia. Do not a party who still oppose it to
  36. this day, along with other people who are Hindu traditionalists.
  37. These people actually pro tested the ruling passed by the
  38. Supreme Court that would allow women to enter the temple,
  39. which is a pretty good example as to why I
  40. said protests aren't actually the mark of a good society,
  41. because in cases like this they aren't being done for
  42. the right reasons.
  43. However, it is because of protests done by women and
  44. other supporters that the ruling was passed in the first
  45. place. One of the more notable protests done in response
  46. to this discrimination is the wall that was formed by
  47. women. This human wall was around 380 miles song and
  48. was made up of hundreds of thousands.
  49. Woman I actually found a surprising to learn that the
  50. government backed this protest, especially after reading about the last
  51. story in the most recent articles I confined.
  52. Women are still allowed to enter the temple, despite the
  53. fact that many people are still in opposition to this.
  54. To sum up the story, protests can help push the
  55. size into becoming good, assuming that they are being held
  56. for the right reason.
  57. And while there are still many dangers that Indian women
  58. have to face protesting it, discriminatory laws changed.
  59. Helped put anti discriminatory laws in place help Roman received
  60. justice for wrongdoings committed against them and, by extension, discourage
  61. others from committing these wrongdoings.
