Abstract

   Gender based violence in itself is a question on integrity of Article 14 of the Indian Constitution. GBV marks the differentiation between men and women on grounds of religion race, caste, gender or place of birth etc. Every person has a right to live freely with dignity and no one has a right to refrain people from exercising their fundamental right. Therefore, this article is primarily based on secondary data and literature review that showcases the recent trends and scenario of GBV particularly in the Indian perspective. The main theme of this article is to highlight the causes that are responsible for gender based violence and also to suggest some measures to control it.

Keywords: GBV, Integrity, Right, Recent trends.
