National Commission for Women

Courtesy/By: Harshita Kumari  |  27 Apr 2023     Views:5334

Introduction:

The National Commission for Women (NCW) is a statutory body established in India in 1992 to safeguard and promote the rights of women in the country. The commission was formed under the National Commission for Women Act, of 1990, with the aim of providing a platform for women to voice their concerns and grievances and take steps to redress them. In this research note, we will discuss the role and functions of the National Commission for Women.

Role and Functions:

The National Commission for Women is responsible for protecting and promoting the rights of women in India. The following are some of the functions of the commission:

  1. Investigation and Examination: The commission has the power to investigate and examine all matters relating to the constitutional and legal safeguards for women. This includes examining complaints of discrimination and violence against women and making recommendations to the government for their redressal.

  2. Recommending Policies: The commission recommends policies, programs, and legislation to the government for improving the status and welfare of women in the country.

  3. Legal Aid: The commission provides legal aid and assistance to women who are victims of violence and discrimination. It also takes steps to ensure that women have access to justice and are not denied their legal rights.

  4. Spreading Awareness: The commission undertakes measures to spread awareness about the rights of women and the laws that protect them. It also organizes campaigns and programs to promote gender equality and empower women.

  5. Research and Documentation: The commission conducts research and documentation on issues related to the status and welfare of women in India. This helps in the formulation of policies and programs that are beneficial for women.

Challenges Faced:

The National Commission for Women faces several challenges in its functioning. These include:

  1. Limited Resources: The commission is often hampered by limited resources, including funds, personnel, and infrastructure, which limits its ability to effectively carry out its functions.

  2. Inadequate Legal Framework: The legal framework for protecting the rights of women in India is often inadequate, and there are many gaps and inconsistencies that need to be addressed.

  3. Lack of Implementation: The commission's recommendations and guidelines are often not implemented by the government, leading to a lack of progress in addressing issues related to women's rights.

Conclusion:

The National Commission for Women plays an important role in protecting and promoting the rights of women in India. While it faces several challenges, the commission has made significant contributions to improving the status and welfare of women in the country. However, more needs to be done to strengthen the commission's functioning and ensure that its recommendations are effectively implemented.
