Political Will:

Women should have access to resources, rights, and entitlements. They should be given decision-
making powers and due position in governance. Thus, the Women Reservation Bill should be
passed as soon as possible to increase the effective participation of women in the politics of India.
Bridging implementation gaps: Government or community-based bodies must be set up to monitor
the programs devised for the welfare of the society. Due importance should be given for their
proper implementation and their monitoring and evaluation through social audits. Justice delayed
is justice denied. Efforts should be made to restructure the legal process to deliver fair and in- time
justice to the victims of heinous crimes like rapes, acid attacks, sexual harassment, trafficking and
domestic violence. The idea of fast-track courts, devised to impart speedy justice to the victims of
rapes and other crimes against women, is a good initiative taken by the judiciary and the
Government of India.Empowering women socially, economically, educationally politically and
legally is going to be a Herculean task. It is not going to be easy to change the culture of disregard
for women which are so deep-rooted in Indian society. But it does not mean that it is implausible.
Only revolutions bring changes in a day, but reforms take their time. This one, in particular, will
take its time as well. The idea of women empowerment might sound hard by the yard, but by the
inch, it is just a cinch. All we need is a concentrated effort focused in the right direction that would
rest only with the liberation of women from all forms of evil.
