Despite number of amendments in law and society . Crime against women keeps on increasing whether it is rape , dowry death, sex selective abortion .
There are number of reasons for it increase
1)Low education to female individual
The is a huge difference in literacy ratio in women as compared to male in India
2) sterotypes related to females
Numbers of sterotypes are attached with the women in the Indian society which has led to further increase in these types of cases
3) longer judicial trial times
One of the major flaws of Indian judiciary as further led to increase of crime against women because women often hesitate to go to courts for the redressal
Way forward to these problems
1) Government schemes
There are some govt scheme such as mission shakti
Which includes sambal means safety and security of women
And samarthya means empowerment of women major objective bo this scheme is to provide
Immediate redressal , increase labour force ,reduce care burden on women etc
Another very popular schemes are Beti bachao beti padhao yojana
Which ensure elementary and higher education to girl child
At last this can be concluded by taking several measures
Such as by properly implementation of the schemes ( so that it should not remain on just paper )
Fastening of redressal system for any grievance related to females

Modern art, viewed through the postmodernist lens, becomes less about perfection or aesthetics and more about questioning who gets to define meaning, beauty, and identity. In this fluid space, gender and feminism have emerged not just as themes, but as forces reshaping the canvas itself. BreaRead more
Modern art, viewed through the postmodernist lens, becomes less about perfection or aesthetics and more about questioning who gets to define meaning, beauty, and identity. In this fluid space, gender and feminism have emerged not just as themes, but as forces reshaping the canvas itself.
Breaking Traditional Representations:
Postmodern art rejects the ‘male gaze’ that historically dominated classical painting and sculpture.
Artists like Cindy Sherman used self-portraiture to satirize stereotypical female roles, making the viewer question gender roles themselves.
Challenging Power Structures:
Feminist art has become a tool to expose institutional bias.
Guerilla Girls famously displayed data-driven posters showing how women artists were underrepresented in top galleries—despite being overrepresented as nude subjects.
In India, Arpita Singh and Nalini Malani weave in female anguish, resistance, and mythology to challenge patriarchal narratives.
Intersectional Expression:
Postmodernism allows for layered identities- queer, dalit, tribal, trans, to co-exist on equal footing.
Recent art biennales (like Kochi 2022 and Venice 2024) have embraced this inclusivity, highlighting gender as a spectrum, not a binary.
Today’s art doesn’t just speak about gender; it speaks from within it, making each piece a political, emotional, and deeply personal act of resistance.
“Art is not a mirror to reflect reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.” – Bertolt Brecht
