Women in India reported almost 34,000 rapes in 2018, with just over 85% leading to charges, and 27% to convictions.

NEW DELHI - One woman reported a rape every 15 minutes on an average in India in 2018, according to government data released on Thursday, underlining its dismal reputation as one of the worst places in the world to be female.

Women's rights groups say crimes against women are often taken less seriously, and investigated by police lacking in sensitivity. The rape of a teenager in 2017 by former BJP state legislator Kuldeep Singh Sengar gained national attention when the accuser tried to kill herself the following year, accusing the police of inaction.
