Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a function here, she said the incidents of atrocities against women were on a rise and to keep a check, the Commission was creating awareness and providing training to girls and women.
Stating that there was a need for change in the status of women, she said unless and until women are treated equally and given mutual respect, there is no possibility of decline in the atrocities against them.
Incidents of atrocities have been taking place for ages, but have started coming to light very fast after the advent of internet and social networking websites, she said.
