Quotes
"It is failing to curb atrocities against children and girls"
Justice Dr G Radha Rani, former judge of Telangana High Court
“"It is failing to curb atrocities against children and girls. On the other hand, despite having strict laws like the POCSO Act, Disha Act, Nirbhaya Act, Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, and the Dowry Prohibition Act, justice is still not reaching women."”
