Abstract

“We must unite. Violence against women cannot be tolerated, in any form, in any context, in any circumstance, by any political leader or by any government.”[1]

Owing to the widespread discrimination and violence perpetuated towards women and girls throughout history and the continuance of the same, gender inequality serves as a major challenge in every part of the world. Hence, gender equality has been recognised by United Nations as a fundamental human right which serves as the quintessential basis for a peaceful and sustainable world. Gender Equality is among the 17 other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out by United Nations,[2] for achieving a more prosperous, more equal, and more secure world by the year 2030. India in addition to being a party to this Agenda, has also been a signatory to UN Conventions, like Convention on Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW),[3] Beijing Platform for Action and Convention on Rights of the Child (CRC).[4]
