Abstract
Woman, the very creation of God that makes living beautiful is often at the receiving end of trauma. In 2009 rape cases have reached 2,497, domestic violence has crossed the 10,000 mark. Around 2.8 million social workers have been employed by the government to reach into villages across the country, to make women aware of their rights. But, much to the surprise women are not even aware that they have any rights in a man’s world. Significant numbers of the world 's population are routinely subject to torture, starvation, terrorism, humiliation, and even murder simply because they are female. It is generally known that women are disproportionally affected by the social and economic factors such as poverty, gender biased, unemployment, inequality, oppressive social structure and son preference. Violence against women cuts across race, religion, income, class, culture and age. It is not confined to a particular political or economic system, but pervades every society in the world, so much so, that millions of women consider it a way of life. To this purpose the National Commission for Women is set up for protecting women. Besides this there are Commissions set up in each state of the country to protect and uplift women
This paper would be dealing with the three different origins of human rights violation i.e. the role of State, Selfishness and Culture in Human rights violation. The paper will also analyze
