On an average, 92 women are raped in India every day, 4 of them in the capital. But less than 5 percent cases get reported to the police. The conviction ratio, is even more dismal. Something needs to change. A senior CBI officer, Joydeep Nayak, understood this, and has worked to rectify this. He has created the “Instant Complaint Logging Internet Kiosk,” or “iClik,”- an ATM machine-like kiosk, that will help women report cases of harassment against them in an anonymous manner.

5. Also, a woman can report cases of dowry harassment, workplace exploitation, or even eve teasing

In a country like ours where crimes against women are largely unreported, we strongly wish such innovations are recognized, embraced and encouraged. Not that these innovations will stop crimes overnight, but it’s a step in the right direction.

This is a positive story that motivates us to innovate & find solutions to problems, rather than crib about it.
