In a tweet, the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal said, “According to NCRB data, crimes against women increased by 41% in 2021 and the crimes against children increased by 32%.”
NCRB के आंकड़ों के अनुसार 2021 में महिलाओं के खिलाफ होने वाले अपराध 41% बढ़ गए। बच्चों के खिलाफ अपराध 32% बढ़ गए। ये गहरी चिंता का विषय है। आज देश की हर पार्टी हर सरकार को महिला सुरक्षा को चुनावी घोषणापत्र से निकालकर ज़मीन पर हकीकत बनाने के लिए साथ मिलकर कठोर कदम उठाने चाहिए!

“This is a matter of deep concern”, she said, adding every party and government should take strong steps to ensure safety of women.
“It is necessary to take strong steps to prevent the name of Delhi from getting spoiled. From an 8-month-old girl to a 90-year-old woman, raped in Delhi. Delhi Commission for Women is working 24×7 to make every woman feel safe. But this is not enough. All governments should come together, save the daughters”, she tweeted.
दिल्ली का नाम खराब होने से रोकने के लिए कड़े कदम लेना ज़रूरी है। 8 महीने की बच्ची से लेके 90 साल की महिला का दिल्ली में रेप हुआ है। दिल्ली महिला आयोग 24 घंटे काम कर रहा है, हर महिला को सुरक्षित महसूस करवाने के लिए। पर ये काफ़ी नहीं है। सभी सरकारें साथ आएं, बेटियों को बचाएं। pic.twitter.com/TV2SQRj42H

Then came another post by Maliwal commenting on the irony of a picture showing Nirbhaya squad as a part of the team deployed to clear the area from people demanding the rapists of Bilkis Bano to be put back to jail.
Height of irony! https://t.co/LZxEFYX7Y3
