INTRODUCTION

Women access to justice in India is an important issue that reflects gender inequality, social stigma and extensive social trends of patriarchal structures. Despite legal process, the reality for many women in India is that justice remains elusive due to many systemic obstacles. However, in the last few decades, there has been significant progress in legal reforms and awareness about women’s rights has increased, although challenges persist.
