According to "10 reasons why India has a sexual violence problem" posted by Olga Khazan and Rama Lakshmi on December 29, 2012 at 1:06 pm... "Few female police" is one of the ten reasons...... "Studies show that women are more likely to report sex crimes if female police officers are available. India has historically had a much lower percentage of female police officers than other Asian countries. In New Delhi, just 7 percent of police officers are women, and they are frequently given inconsequential posts that don’t involve patrol duty, according to the Times of India. Of the 161 district police stations in Delhi, only one has a female station house officer." With this petition, we hope to demand the Indian Police Force to increase their Female: Male ratio such that help is more available to sex violence victims.
