" If women are empowered, lifted up and don't have to live in fear, that tends to result in huge gains for an economy."

And what makes you think we don't do that already? Did you read monthly public health outcomes and human rights outcomes research either by third party or government ministers?

Did you see no programs and collaborative efforts by NGOs and Government?

Did you see no improvements in critiqued yearly and monthly reports of famous research journals like 'Economics and Political Weekly' and Ministry of Women and Child Development, Ministry of Health and family welfare, etc?

What is your picture on comparative analysis of rape "endemic" across other factors normalized, like by country, by per capita, by development index, by any rank for that matter?
