Crime against women rise in Northeast
Assam Tribune | Guwahati, Feb 15 (IANS):
The northeastern States have recorded a sharp rise in incidents of crime against women, the Women Power Connect (WPC) said on Tuesday.
"What is more worrying is the fact that sex selective abortions are on the rise in the northeast, a term quite unheard of till a few years back," she said.
Ranjana Kumari was here to address a workshop on "Strategizing Advocacy for Effective Implementation of Women Friendly Laws" organized by Impulse NGO Network, a known anti-trafficking NGO working in the region.
"While poor economic conditions and increasing unemployment remained key factors, another factor that has played a major role for the worsening statistics is the abuse of drugs and alcohol among the young," she said.
