The pathetic position of women in Kashmir.

     Kashmir is that stunning land, which is full of natural beauty.  kashmir also known as the ' in troubled paradise'.
 The major problem with kashmir is Islamic militants.
A kashmiri said as a coment on a wesite that

Mohammad asif
Kotli, Azad Kashmir
       "We all three nations [India, Pakistan & Kashmir] know that Kashmir is a free state. But in 1948 India captured this state. We Kashmiri want a free United States of Kashmir, consisting of Jammu velly, Kashmir and Laddakh. We want peace. And INSHA ALLAH, one day Kashmir State and thier people will be free".
          
        The majority of muslims there always seeking for the Good Governance.  The desire for good governance is universally accepted bit the issue is that how to achieve this goal in kashmir. The data available with the kashmir reveals, the pathetic position of women victim who has faced the worst not only by criminals but also by the administration as well. The incidence of sexual violence against the women by the army is widely spread and enargea the men in the community including themilitants   ( those who fight against the occupation). 
    However, rape is something unheard before the inception of militarization, it makes women stigmatised. Offucial statistics reveals that the police has registered 260 cases of crome against women in last four years which includes six dowry related deaths, 520 rape cases, 2536 kidnaping , 1103 eve teasing and 151 cases of cruelty by husbands beside there have been 3944cases of molestation in Kashmir in that period. 
             All these issues dorced a women to suicides. A survey has shown that the more kashmiri women comits suicides then women.  A prominent sociologist Dr Bashir Ahmed Dabla said : " Throughout the world its found that suicides sate are higher aming men and more  intense in urban areas, but in the vallies the reversed is true ". 

  After all this miserable conditions of women , question is that why no one is actioning over it?...
  
         Domestic violence ( preventionand protection) bill has not yet been passed. 
         The dictims such as veils ( burkha) are often issued under these circumstances. 
       
          Women in Kashmir have suffered enormously since separatist struggling became violent in 1980-90. Like the women in other conflict zones they have been raped, tortured,  maimed and killed. A few of them even in jail for years together.  The study of Kashmir universities' department of sociology in 2012 revealed 90% of the estimated 10,000 kaahmir war widows didn't remarry despite provision of remary in Islam.
