Authors

Abstract

The state of Kerala is distinguished for its human and gender development indexes such as human development, equality in education, health care’s etc. but in terms of contending violence against women and children, state policies do not realize their objectives. The number of crimes against women in Kerala was 1867 in 1991, by the end of 2000, it had risen to 7621, it had further rise to 10770 in 2010, and at the end of 2020 it was again raised to 12120. The Government of Kerala established Panchayat level Jagratha Samithis or People’s Court in order to inhibit violence against women and girls and thereby protect their dignity in the society based on 1997 Govt. Order under the umbrella of Kerala Women’s Commission. Jagratha Samithi is a quasi-judicial vigilance committee works in every Local Self Government level. It has the obligation to register, investigate and solve cases concerning to violence against women by bonding the activities of various departments. The study explores the role of Jagratha Samithis, their efficacy and challenges when they are dealing with cases of violence against women.
