Main Body

India's female labour force participation has risen to 39% backed by stringent legal frameworks ensuring women's safety. Legal Frameworks for Women's Safety: (1) Prevention of Sexual Harassment at Workplace Act (POSH Act) → based on Vishnukla Guidelines. (2) Domestic Violence Act, 2005 → to safeguard women in enclosed familial spaces. (3) Dowry Prohibition Act → to protect women from dowry violence. (4) Sati Prohibition Act → to eradicate the evil practice of Sati. (5) BNS, 2024 → contains stringent regulations for rape, etc.

6Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) - protecting the safety of children. (7) PCPNDT act - criminalises informing parents about the sex of the child → protects from female infanticide. Further steps needed to ensure safety: Strong Criminal Justice System → fast track disposal of case → increase convictions → Special Fast Track Courts → Specialised law and order. Social Steps → Information, education, awareness → Attitudinal change → Dismantling patriarchy at workplace. Above steps, with gender-sensitive law enforcement will go a long way in ensuring safety of women.
