Abstract

The Justice Verma Committee has highlighted the urgent need for establishing the rule of law and good governance, and has also sought to address the roots of social and gender inequality in the country. There is a need to address structural inequalities that perpetrate and perpetuate violence, such as rape, and for women's rights to have both political and social legitimacy.
