A Gender Sensitive Legal Study on the Protection of Human Rights of Women Prisoners under the Constitutional Law and relevant Laws

This study critically looks at how the Indian legal system safeguards female prisoners' human rights. Through a gender-sensitive lens, it looks at court decisions, constitutional provisions, and statutory protections for female inmates. Through an analysis of the systemic issues that imprisoned women face, including physical abuse, inadequate healthcare, lack of privacy, and separation from children, this paper seeks to identify legal flaws and propose reforms that are consistent with India's constitutional mandate and international commitments.
