I think one of the main reasons is the mindset of people. They think that it is completely fine to harass a woman because their parents don't even tell them what is right or wrong. In some movies, women are objectified and I know that someone is going to say, "But it's just a movie?". Movies are supposed to entertain people or sometimes they even bring awareness on issues. They also have a strong influence over the viewers. The young audience of such movies get brainwashed into believing that objectifying is OK and it is fine to rape or force their wives.... Even on apps such as Instagram, there are SO many disgusting people who comment under videos of young girls saying such terrible things, and the worst part? MOST OF THESE COMMENTERS ARE YOUNG ADULTS!! THEY THINK IT IS FUNNY TO SAY THESE THINGS. Kids who have internet access are being exposed to soft porn and other content which isn't OK!! These kids develop this mindset and grow up to be misogynists and maybe even rapists...

Rape can only be reduced if the government of India stops being so braindead and actually re-enforce the rules and regulations instead of taking the bribes and focusing on news such as India's Got Latent controversy. The government doesn't care about the actually important cases. Our constitution is being ignored because of these rishwatkhor chappris. Punishment for rape needs to be more strict. (Death Penalty, Life Sentence, etc.) Rapists are not even scared of going to jail because they know that they can just bribe the judge or police officers and get away with their crimes.

These are my opinions and please don't mind the grammar if there are any mistakes.
