Abstract:
The Constitution and Supreme Court of India guarantee women equal legal rights as men. However, the actualization of these rights has been very limited due to the presence of patriarchal beliefs that have plagued legal structures. This has resulted in the perpetuation of oppression and violence against women to create a system that often safeguards perpetrators and harasses victims in cases of gendered crimes such as sexual assault and domestic violence. This paper has analyzed the causes of sexual and physical violence against women through a legal lens with a conclusion that it is imperative to sensitize and reform legal structures according to the needs of women, to make them more accessible. This paper has explored the role played by Non-Governmental Agencies in providing legal support to women in Urban India by being the integral link between conducive legal recourse and women who are victims as well as providing them with a support system that extends to mental healthcare. Despite the abundance of NGOs in India, their impact has been limited. This paper suggests recommendations to increase the efficacy of these NGOs through centralized networking, improved marketing, and productive interactions with local governments and the media.
