Women and children are usually the main targets, who suffer in a number of ways mainly because they are weaker, helpless and economically dependent.
 Women and children are the soft targets.  They are the victims of capitalism, development & environment  They suffer in a number of ways because they are:  Weaker  Helpless  Economically dependent etc.  Illiteracy  Wide Gender Discretion
 Dowry- Dowry is property or money that a bride brings to her husband on the day of their marriage. It is sad, but many women who bring few dowry's after marriage are killed. The dowry is said to be a source of many of the problems in India to begin with.
Is also known as a sex selective abortion that favors the male sex and deselects the female sex and because of this, India has a low female sex ratio to that of the men.
 Health and wellbeing -- Women are not cared for in the health standards that they should be cared for, especially during child labor. The maternal mortality rate is among the highest in the world in India. They are also malnourished because they are forced to eat their husbands leftovers. Many women are also not equipped with the education that they need to fully understand and use their new found rights.
She is just 15 yrs, her son is 18 months old
60 % of the Girls are married before the age of 16 Nearly 60% of the married girls bear children before they are 18 125,000 women die from pregnancy and related causes every year Maternal mortality in India is the 2nd highest in the world
Domestic Violence- Domestic Violence is extremely high because of the dowry that India has set into play. Female trafficking, which is sexual abuse, is a big part of the violence problem in their society today. Every 93 minutes a woman is burnt to death due to dowry problem and every single hour at least one woman is raped in India
Overworked - Many women in India are overworked. They often work double the hours that the males do, but they are not even given credit for it. •It is well known that women and children work in huge numbers in bidi-rolling, agarbatti-rolling, bangle making, weaving, brassware, leather, crafts and other industries. •Yet, only 3 % of these women are recorded as laborers.
o The World Health Organisation estimates that 1.6 billion early deaths occur annually from cooking stove pollution. o Between 400,000 to 550,000 children less than five years and women die each year in India due to indoor smoke.  Chula smoke is the third- highest cause of disease and death, after dirty water and lack of sanitation.  Hence, by providing access to clean water, sanitation, food and well-ventilated homes, over half the diseases and premature deaths could be avoided in India.
•Divorce- Divorce is very common in India because it is looked down on in society comparable to the U.S. many years ago. It is a signature of failure, but especially for the women.
•After losing the forest and getting rehabilitated from their native places, men fold usually migrate to towns in search of some job while women are left behind to look after the family and household with little resources •Development projects like mining play havoc with the life of women. The National Network for Women and Mining (NNWM) with about 20 groups in different in different mining states of India is rightly fighting for a "gender audit" of India's mining companies. The displaced women are the worst affected, as they do not get any compensation and are totally dependent upon the males for wages
