Justice Eludes Women Despite Stringent Laws
A big meeting was held in Hyderabad to talk about the problems women and children face in India.
Even though there are strict laws to protect them, many people still face violence and unfair treatment.
The speakers said that not only do we need better laws, but also a change in how society treats women.
They also talked about how women are paid less than men for the same work.
The meeting ended with a promise to fight against these problems and make sure women and children are safe and treated fairly.
Justice Dr G Radha Rani expressed concern over the failure to curb atrocities against children and girls despite strict laws.
Gauhar Raza highlighted the societal attitude of looking down upon women and the normalization of violence against them.
Parakala Prabhakar noted the damaged political atmosphere for democratic meetings and the persistence of wage disparities for women.
AIDSO leaders expressed deep concern over the increase in atrocities against women and children and resolved to launch a nationwide movement.
The convention adopted resolutions against crimes against girls and children, paper leaks, and police attacks on protests.

Laws alone are insufficient; a cultural shift is needed to address the root causes of violence against women and children.
