Telangana ranked number one in crimes against women in South India. Three years straight.
24,495 cases in 2024. Government’s own data.
R**e cases: 1,148. Highest in South India. Almost double Karnataka. Nearly three times Tamil Nadu.
Dowry deaths: 144. Tamil Nadu recorded 7. Kerala recorded 1. Same geography. Completely different outcomes.
98% of accused were someone the victim already knew. Not a stranger. A neighbour. A colleague. A family member. Someone she trusted.
Conviction rate: 38%. 61 out of every 100 accused walked out as free men.
March 2026. The Chief Minister launched a campaign called Stand With Her and admitted on stage that women feel unsafe stepping out. At a campaign launch. While 24,495 case files were already sitting in government records.
You are not imagining it. The state with the most women’s safety campaigns in South India is also the state with the most crimes against women. Three years in a row.
And the courage she shows filing that case? The system quietly decided the outcome was not its problem.
You don’t have a women’s safety system.
You have a women’s safety announcement.
She is not the priority.
She is the press release.
