Sub Title : Women Safety

The Government of India has implemented several initiatives and measures aimed at improving women's safety across the country.

Legal Reforms: The government has introduced and amended laws to strengthen the legal framework for addressing crimes against women. Notable legislative changes include the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013, which expanded the definition of sexual offenses, enhanced punishment for perpetrators, and introduced new offenses such as acid attacks and stalking.
Nirbhaya Fund: In response to the horrific gang rape and murder of a young woman in Delhi in 2012, the government set up the Nirbhaya Fund to support initiatives aimed at enhancing the safety and security of women. The fund is used to finance projects such as the installation of CCTV cameras, setting up helplines, and providing self-defense training for women.
Fast-track Courts: Specialized fast-track courts have been established to expedite the trial of cases related to crimes against women. These courts are designed to ensure swift justice and reduce the backlog of cases, thereby increasing the accountability of perpetrators.
Safe City Initiative: The government has initiated the Safe City project in several cities to create safer environments for women and girls. These initiatives involve measures such as increased police patrolling, improved street lighting, and the establishment of safe zones and women-only spaces.
Women Helpline (181): The government launched the Women Helpline (181) to provide immediate assistance and support to women in distress. The helpline operates 24/7 and offers counseling, legal aid, and emergency response services to women facing various forms of violence or harassment.
Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao Scheme: Launched in 2015, the BBBP scheme aims to address gender imbalance and promote the education and empowerment of girls. The program focuses on improving access to education, healthcare, and nutrition for girls, as well as raising awareness about the importance of gender equality.

While these actions represent significant steps towards improving women's safety in India, challenges persist there is still much work to be done.

Continued efforts both at the policy level and through community engagement, are essential to create a society where women can live free from violence and fear.
