| contents | <div> <p><em><span lang="EN-US">This paper evaluates major legislative and policy interventions aimed at promoting women's empowerment in India and assesses their role in social transformation. Focusing on key laws and programmes — the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (2005), the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act (2013), Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (2015), the National Policy for Women (2016), gender-responsive budgeting, and the Women's Reservation legislation (2023) — the study uses a mixed-methods review of legislation, government documents, peer-reviewed studies and reports by international agencies. The analysis highlights that legislation has provided crucial normative and institutional frameworks that improve visibility of women’s rights and create entitlements, but persistent implementation gaps, socio-cultural barriers and uneven resource allocation limit transformative outcomes. The paper concludes with evidence-based recommendations to strengthen enforcement, expand economic opportunities, and promote gender-transformative social norms.</span></em></p> </div> |
