Women safety: NHRC emphasizes strengthening of the implementation of existing laws

The Hindu  

The National Human Rights Commission on Monday emphasized that safety and social audits of cities and institutions should be carried out to get a better idea about the lags and issues that currently exist in terms of ensuring women’s safety in India. The Commission also said that better implementation of laws is needed to make sure that policies translate into tangible outcomes to improve the safety of women both at home, and outside. The remarks about women safety were made during the national symposium on Women’s Safety at Work & Public Spaces organized by the NHRC in Delhi. Among the other suggestions given during the symposium are to have gender sensitization workshops/classes in schools, colleges, workplaces, top management of all major organisations, as well as in law enforcing systems, to adopt a preventive approach towards women’s safety with the help of civil society. Representatives from various ministries, national commissions, and police reflected upon several initiatives that have been taken by the government to ensure women’s safety in the workplace and public spaces.
