Maha No. 1 in Domestic Violence Cases: Study

The Times of India reports on a study about the implementation of India’s Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, which was enacted in 2005. Findings show physical violence as well as emotional and verbal abuse were the most common forms of domestic violence reported, and 19 states did not have specific budget allocations for implementing the act. The research was conducted by the Lawyer’s Collective of Women’s Rights Initiative in collaboration with ICRW and UN Women.
