For years, our country has developed numerous laws for the protection of women against the various atrocities faced by them in society. The main laws which have been developed are The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, amendments in the Indian Penal Code,1860 etc. Even after the enactment of numerous laws for the protection of women, the atrocities against them still exist. When we talk about the effective implementation of such laws, we cannot hold only the government responsible. There are various middlemen which come in the way of the implementation of laws and providing proper justice to women. Society should also be blamed for the various difficulties faced by women. Therefore, there is a need to find out whether the problem lies in the enforcement of such laws for the protection of women or the thinking of the society that needs to be changed to make this society a better and safer place for women to stay. 
In our society, the foremost reason for the atrocity against women is violence and sexual assault. Women are required to be protected from these atrocities and to achieve this our government has made an effort to make legislation and impose heavy punishments on the accused. This problem is not only faced by women in Indian Society but all it has been faced by women all over the world. It affects the women of every caste, nationality, creed. It could be a life-threatening problem for every woman and can seriously affect societies as well.
