Domestic violence is still a big issue that every woman is facing our Indian government is taking steps constantly but somewhere I think not proved that effective, there are various ways of violence are happening and our government is yet to address that. Also when complaints are registered in police station police are not quick to catch the culprit first they take the process of investigation very slowly, by the time the culprit gets the time to run away, this needs to change. The government has established some laws prohibiting women from domestic violence acts, intimate partner violence, equal remuneration act. The government needs to simplify this law, connect victims through organizations so they also help women, the government needs to change the narrative of the TV shows where violence is shown. The government has made public information campaign this help to prevent violence. The government has made helpline numbers, especially for violence and stalking. The government also trying to ban risk factors associated with violence like alcohol sales. Modification of the justice system is also important. The government needs to create separate shelter homes for the victims. This how the government is dealing.
