Abstract

India's Constitution, with its progressive values of justice and equality, is the foundation for gender justice in the nation. By examining the relationship between constitutional provisions, judicial interpretation, legislative reforms, and societal issues, this article seeks to understand India's legal and constitutional framework for gender justice. Although the Constitution protects fundamental rights like equality before the law, sex-based discrimination is prohibited, and women's welfare is specifically addressed, its implementation has been fraught with difficulties. The complete achievement of gender justice is still hampered by sociocultural norms, economic inequality, and patriarchal society systems. This paper assesses the advancements and obstacles in gender equality by examining significant legislative reforms like the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act of 2013 and the Domestic Violence Act of 2005, as well as seminal court rulings like Vishaka v. State of Rajasthan and Shah Bano v. Union of India.
