Moreover most of the people agreed that the law in India is not strict for the person who commit rape.

From the questionnaire prepared we came to know that most of cases are not reported either because of communication gap between parents and children or due to backwardness of society. From our observation we found that the persons commit rape either because of self satisfaction, enjoyment or because of aggression n male dominance. And almost 98% of population says that awareness of sex education must be provided in every colleges and schools in India without any misuse.

SUGGESTIONS:-Through our observation we suggest that following measures could be adopted to reduce increasing rape in India:-1. Awareness of Sex education should be given to every person all over India.2. By reducing the sex discrimination, the rape rate can be decreased.3. By reducing the communication gap between parents and their wards.4. Parents must keep an eye on the doings of their wards.5. By improving the narrow thinking of the people of society.6. By improving the legal system of India and law should be strict against the person who commits the rape.7. Prostitution should be made legal so that innocent females could be saved from being raped.8. Girls should be trained for self defense.

CONCLUSIONHence, we came to conclusion that in 2014 India was on the first place relating to rape cases and was termed as RAPE CAPITAL OF WORLD.And after comparing we can say that in India more rape cases are committed other than countries as due to the reasons of awareness of education, mentality, rules and laws.And we came to know that we are living in a male dominant society which is not at all safe for the females. It is the collective responsibility of everyone to ensure that a women can live in a safe and secure environment. A lot needs to be done in this regard to ensure the safety and security of women. So, the attitude of the society needs to be changed towards women.
