Abstract:
The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (PWDVA), was enacted to combat the widespread menace of domestic violence and provide legal redress for protecting women's rights. It is recognized in this Act that various forms of violence are physical, emotional, sexual, and economic abuse and it provides an overarching framework of prevention, protection, and redressal. In this research paper, an analysis of the provisions of the Act is presented to identify the goals, ambit, and tools available for women empowerment and justice. Despite the progressive intent of the legislative act, much has intervened to affect its practice. Implementation barriers, social attitudes, and scarcity of institutional response have influenced how the Act works to date. From the perspectives enumerated above, in spite of increased awareness and guarantees of protection via the Act, various issues have had to be countered, including issues of justice delayed, poorly equipped Protection Officers, and no facilities. Public awareness of its provisions and ready access to remedies under the Act are still important priority areas. This article discusses the provisions under the PWDVA, 2005 and evaluates the effectiveness of those provisions in reducing domestic violence among women. The article succeeds, identifies gaps, and calls for a multi-stakeholder approach to strengthen its implementation. To ensure that this Act attains its desired impact, there needs to be ongoing efforts to establish a safer, more equitable society for women.
