The women are the victims in the sub continent. In India (Delhi and Mumbai), rape is rampant, and the govt is baffled on how to tackle it. On the other side, in Pakistan and Bangladesh crime against women like acid and fire burning are coming out. Theses countries have weak legal systems which is why such crimes get away without exemplary punishment.

The core reason is that these countries are coming out from the centuries old "Agricultural Slavery" where women had little rights.

Male dominance is yet another factor, that treats the women as an inferior class.

Education and strong legal system can change this phenomena.
