Abstract

Even in the twenty first century, a significant number of women are abused in every corner of the globe. Both developed and developing countries are on the same boat regarding the treatment of their women. In India, women are still treated as commodities. Youth unemployment, poverty in general, use of drugs, dowry and economic dependence of women are found to be associated with the abuse of women and domestic violence.
