Supreme Court Suggest for Online Complaint System to Enhance Women’s Safety

The Supreme Court, during a PIL hearing filed by the Supreme Court Women Lawyers Association, questioned the absence of an online mechanism for women to lodge complaints.

The bench suggested a centralized system to resolve jurisdictional issues and avoid the need for women to visit police stations.

The PIL addressed concerns like unsafe public transport, easy access to online pornography, and delayed justice in sexual harassment cases.

The Court granted the Union six weeks to file a comprehensive response and emphasized practical solutions to safeguard women’s rights.
