Well, I may not fully agree to that, anyway, be that as it may.
There are 2 points here right.
1. Societal Acceptance, Reporting the crime
2. Law enforcement
3. Justice delivered
I completely agree, Societal Acceptance of a victim, is much higher in the west.
This will take time but there is increasing awareness around this.
Execution of laws is a problem. If the population is as big as ours, the problem magnifies.
USA and UK, the landmass (area) is many times higher for a population that is many times lower. Furthermore, they have a larger law enforcement (Police, judges) workforce per citizen than India.
One would like to believe that with an airtight Ecosystem where the police is approachable, there is a faster judicial process, there is fear of consequences, crime rate would be lower, isn't it?
Still, the crime rates per capita in these places is higher
Regarding rate of Justice delivered, this is directly linked to the population and hence the workforce and hence the backlog.
So many celebrities from the west have been open about harassment. Oprah Winfrey for instance. Or the MeToo movement. How many have actually been convicted?
It is not easy to prove in court. If this is coupled with money and muscle power, that much harder.
As per data of 2021 in USA 14.8% woman are raped in india 19.8% so fact you are saying india less rape itself is wrong.
1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime (14.8% completed, 2.8% attempted)
India’s rape-related crime rate rose 70.7% over the last two decades from 11.6 per 100,000 women and girls in 2001 to 19.8 in 2018
In USA 70% woman will almost goto police and say they are raped in india even 20% will go to police its big. In last 17 years from 2001 to 2018 rape reporting rose 70% because women are feeling more confident to go to police compare to before. But still no is less only its all hushed up in majority cases for fear of society and accused will harass family and attack victim.
Sexual harassment in office in india is same all hushed up at work place no action at all. Have you herad any man go to jail in office for troubling a woman. Its opposite woman has to leave job and run because management will gang up on her. Ex is bollywood all sexual hararsment many heroines dared speak what happened? Did one go to jail no. Forget heroine stop getting job thats all. Full bolyywood will boycott that woman thats all.
If you are saying USA and indian woman are rape are treated same way by society, police and law you are wrong.
USA is no saint in treating woman but yes its one of best country for woman to live in because of the job opportunity, freedom and safety society there provides. USA laws and way of implementation is much superior to any country in world. Not even many europe country are so much better at law implementation as USA
Woman in USA also keep quiet for harassment as they are economically and emotionally dependent on some man. Like anupama was for 25 years. Oprah winfrey or many woman can go file complaint if they wish but they did not as many woman get emotionally attached to abuser or economically dependent on abuser or their parents will not let them do it etc. Anupama was economically and emotionally dependent on abuser vanraj for 25 years.
Imagine for a woman if full family parents sbling all dependent on her single salary to eat pay bills and shes harassed at workplace will she complaint no. Because hes fedding 5 people with that money so they keep quiet. Thats what many heroines or working woman do about hararsment at work place. Because their family dependent on them. Imagine same woman is multi millioanire and harassed at work than whoever harased her will get slapped in office only even if its her boss. Many hollywood heroine confessed they kept quiet for job and food before so imagine indian woman situation at work place.
Regarding crime rate in USA being as high as all over world thats because men have similar thinking mostly all over world. Very few think woman is equal to them you see even in USA. It company in USA is mens club you see with 70 to 80% males. Why are there less woman learning IT no bt they do not give job. Same in india 75% men in IT company. Also IUSA has gun culture that itself leads to many crimes. If you have an automatic weapon in pocket than you get more braveness to do things you would not do empty handed.
Imagine every asian has an automatic gun in bag or pocket like USA guys what would have happened for simple things or aneger they would use guns. Same for USA you are angry on mom scolding you or dad slapping you go hit 30 kids in your school dead thats whats happening. Your boss scolded you take gun kill 20 colleagues. If you fight with wife go kill mall people. Thats USA for you. We must thank rest of world that no one has guns or half world would be gone by now in anger only.
