Why Are Women and Girls Going Missing in India? Journalist Rahgir Ankit on Women's Safety

Why are so many women and girls going missing in India? Why do thousands of families continue to wait for answers? And who is responsible for women's safety? In this Qurious Podcast, journalist Ankit Parmar joins Prakhar Saxena for an in-depth Hindi conversation about women's safety in India, missing women and girls in Madhya Pradesh, crimes against women, and the social realities affecting women across the country. We discuss the questions that deserve greater public attention: • Why are women and girls reported missing in such large numbers? • What do the reported missing-person figures in Madhya Pradesh tell us? • What challenges do families face when someone goes missing? • Who should be accountable for women's safety — government, police, institutions, society, or all of us? • Why do questions about women's safety remain important despite development? • What needs to change to make women and girls safer? According to a Times of India report published on February 22, 2026, the Madhya Pradesh government reported that approximately 269,500 women and girls had gone missing over six years, with more than 50,000 cases still untraced at the time of the statement.
