“Protective Laws for Women” presents a critical and interdisciplinary examination of protective laws enacted for women in India, focusing on their constitutional foundations, practical implementation, and contemporary challenges. It explores key legislations relating to domestic violence, workplace harassment, dowry prohibition, sexual offences, maternity benefits, and women’s labour rights, while analysing the social realities that necessitated such legal protections. The volume also addresses the growing debate surrounding the alleged misuse of certain gender-specific laws and the emerging demand for gender-neutral justice within the legal system. It serves as a valuable resource for academicians, legal professionals, researchers, policymakers, and students interested in gender justice, human rights, and contemporary legal reforms in India.
