Human rights are the fundamental rights that every individual has as a member of the human family. The Indian constitution also guarantees equal rights for men and women. However, in the field of women's human rights in India, there is a significant gap between theory and practice. Our civilization is male-dominated, with men always regarded as superior to society. The India Women have to deal with discrimination, injustice, and dishonour. Despite the fact that women in India have greater rights than men, their living conditions are poor. This article will shed light on women's human rights in India, specifically how all of the essential rights granted to women are being infringed. In a world rife with violence, women are subject to assault, pregnancies related to sex, mismanagement of inheritances, culpability for not bearing children, domestic violence and cruelty towards spouses, infidelity, prostitution, and eve-prodding. in contrast to forms of torment that are violent in nature within and beyond the household, such as the murder of a woman by her spouse or in-laws from one perspective within the four walls of the house, as well as acts of violence committed by law enforcement, officials, or other individuals, either in the workplace or elsewhere away from the household.
