The US State Department has recently issued a journey warning of Level-2 for its citizens visiting India. In this advisory released on 16 June, American citizens have been advised to take precautions due to crime and terrorism in India. The reason for this has been explained to rape, sexual assault and terrorist attack. America needs to peep into its Gireban before issuing these advisory.
Crime against women in America
Talking about the data of 2022, about 1,39,815 rape and sexual assault cases were registered in the US. According to this, the rate of rape on the population of 1 lakh was about 40. National Crime Victimization Survey also states that only 21 percent of sexual violence cases are registered in the police, which means that the actual number may be far more. According to the FBI UCR 2022, a total of 6,815 murders were recorded in the US, of which about 1,022 were victims of women. Domestic violence and intimate partners were prominent in the murder of women. Apart from this, according to CDC Data 2021, 700-1,200 women are killed every year due to domestic violence. Since cases of tampering and sexual harassment in the US Constitution are not properly defined, NCVs statistics say that only 67 thousand to 1 lakh cases are registered. Especially the cases of harassment in the office were up to 7000-8000 in the year 2022.
Crime data against women in India

Talking about crimes related to women between India and America, it should understand that women in America are not more secure than India in terms of rape. While only 31,516 cases of rape were registered in India, in America, these cases were about 5 times more. At the same time, due to lack of proper defense cases of molestation, they could not be counted there. Even if it does not look so much, many American enformers have also shown on their social media account how much they can roam in India and they do not feel any danger. She explains why she came from America and settled in India.
