One of the top 5 dangerous countries for women?

"India is rated the fourth most dangerous country due to high levels of female foeticide and sex trafficking."

I was really surprised to read this statement posted on a news webpage today... How has it come down to this??

India has been known to have a rich culture of treating women with respect throughout the ages. We have a proud heritage with a lot of well known women throughout the ages in literature, politics, spirituality and many other fields. Our culture treats women with utmost respect.

Is westernization one of the reasons that the culture is being perpetrated? Or is it lack of education among literate people?
