Disha Act: An Effective Tool for Women Empowerment in Andhra Pradesh
The safety of women in India is currently a serious concern. The nation's crime rates against women have only substantially increased. Particularly at night, women hesitate before leaving their homes. Watching India's situation concerning women's safety is incredibly upsetting, especially in a nation where women are revered as goddesses. The notion of idolising women in the sense of their god-like nature but in certain circumstances where they are deprived of the same rights which every individual has and it is the system that condemns women for talking with an unknown man, is considered as taboo for talking about the necessities, such as menstruation. The society being society always wants to stay in the grey area where they never want to acknowledge the wrongdoings of the same society which causes psychological damage to women and it is prudent that the fact is always overlooked by the hive mind which is controlled by the society which no have no direct connection to the woman but the thought still lingers within every woman that what does the society think of them if they speak out or will they penalised by the society which is a pseudo body which has never helped the advancement of the individual but as a weighing block which drags us back to the same unparallel think of a primitive man. There are many women-related laws in India, and the legislative has the pecuniary jurisdiction to make laws in their respective states, such as the Disha Act, 2019, Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, etc.
