Female Indian Foreign Exchange Students or Travel - Think Before Sending A Daughter

Jan. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Before sending your daughter or loved one to India, you must understand the risks. The level of respect towards women within India is extremely low.   Over 53% of children are sexually abused in India according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sexual_abuse#India).    96% of women feel unsafe in major areas such as Delhi and Mumbai - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMPdHIzU-mI



There are even commercials created telling Indian's to not harass female tourists because India needs the tourists. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWIepOc8Ock

A few weeks ago, the BBC covered a topic discussing the sexual harassment within India here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-16172815 - Within this page they discuss that the problem is so bad they are forced to use undercover police agents to protect young women from sexual abuse.

Women in India that accuse anyone of sexual abuse are simply mocked and told they cannot continue their career. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVxmGWOO7Zs

I decided to cover this topic when I watched an online video of a very wealthy mans travels to India and his wife was surrounded by a group of men, then the woman was inappropriately touched by a man. The thing that really struck me is that nobody condemned it, tried to help and they all seemed to find it amusing.  

I wanted to post this to make individuals aware and so that they can do some research before sending a child to school or to travel here.
