A physiotherapist in India became a victim of a brutal gang rape on December 12, 2012. When the victim was surrendering to her injuries, the incident became the highlight for the promotion of “Sexual Violence Against Women.” India is considered as the “Rape Capital” of the world but it is strange how statistics show that the number of reported rapes in the United States is thirteen times higher than what is reported in India especially if we compare the size of the population of both the countries. We will just not talk about rapes, but studies have concluded that in India women suffer to gain social equality, they are paid less at the workplace in comparison to their male colleagues, they suffer physical and domestic violence and are exposed to mental, social and economic violence.
Often Rape survivors are excommunicated from the societies and their families refuse to accept them to avoid shame and disregard of the society. Victims are also considered tainted and sully which leaves them unsettled and unmarried for their entire life. Victims also tend to incur heavy financial bills for their treatments after the assault. Various discriminations, domestic violence, mental harassment, limited education opportunities, and low political representation has made women vulnerable in India.

According to World Health Organization, Female Genital Mutilation means a situation where total or partial removal of female external genitalia is done. This removal does not have any scientific reason or any medical justifications. Removal of a healthy organ from the body without any medical reason that too without the consent of the victim is an extreme violation of Human Rights guaranteed to us. The act causes hurt or grievous hurt to the victim depending upon the intensity. No tradition which is harmful, abhorrent and brutal should be carried out. The act not only leaves a physical scar, but the pain and trauma the girl is gone through leaves a permanent mental scar on them. The act reflects the deep-rooted inequality between the sexes. The practise violates a person’s right to health and physical integrity, the right to be free from torture and cruel act and sometimes right to life when the result of procedure causes death.

Amongst all categories of the informal division, the stability and protection of indigenous workers form one of the most consequential provocations to labor laws. The implicit oppressiveness involved in the profession, along with the atypical variety of the work of domestic workers, makes them more vulnerable than other workers in the economy.
The complexities are correlated with the work being delivered within the household, originally for non-commercial intentions. The workspace is a private space, makes administration and implementation very finicky.
Domestic workers come from unprotected communities and underprivileged areas. The preponderance is poor, uneducated, untrained and does not recognize the metropolitan labor market. Their work is underrated, underpaid and inadequately monitored. Deficiency of decent wages, working conditions and defined work hours, brutality, exploitation, sexual harassment at workplace, deception at the hands of traffickers/employment agencies, driven migration, lack of welfare stratagems and lack of skill advancement avenues resulting in stagnation are some of the major issues that they face.
The lack of practical regulation and the notably relaxed nature of the services furnished by indigenous workers without any fundamental protection. In the event of any industrial uncertainty, they are willed at the commiseration of their employers. It is, therefore, quintessential to manifest a system of convivial security that can furnish sufficient protection to indigenous workers, with insignificant state involvement in the operations of the family.
This paper endeavors to provide ideas for such a scheme, which is revised to the eccentric aspects of domestic workers in India. It recognizes that widespread and remote schemes of the social security model insinuated are a decentralized model where social protection is blended with other important solicitudes such as merest wages, skill advancement, and heightening awareness and bargaining vigor of domestic workers. These suggestions have transpired after undertaking a study of subsisting judicial provisions for domestic workers in India and the most beneficial methods from numerous domains that have seen relative victories in rendering social security to indigenous workers.
Keywords: Domestic workers, social security, abuse of worker, stability of indigenous workers.
