INTRODUCTION

Throughout the world, women have suffered from violence and exploitation in societies dominated by men, and India is no exception. The principles of justice, liberty, equality, and dignity, enshrined in the Indian Constitution,^[1] are essential for a free and just society. Despite the government’s efforts to achieve these goals and create a welfare state, many years after independence, the reality remains bleak. Women’s rights to liberty, equality, and dignity are still systematically denied. Various factors such as family dynamics, vulnerability, cultural norms, and socio-economic disparities contribute to the prevalence of violence against women.
