  • Role of Women in Indian Freedom Movement
    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 4 April 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 ROLE OF WOMEN IN INDIAN FREEDOM MOVEMENT Shally Rani Research Scholar Political Science Desh Bhagat University, Amloh(Punjab), India Abstract: The history of Indian freedom struggle would be incomplete without mentioning the contribution of women. The sacrifice made by the women of India newline will occupy the foremost place. The history of freedom struggle is replete with the saga of sacrifice, selflessness, bravery of women. Many of us don’t know that there were hundreds of women who fought side by side with their male counterparts. They fought with true spirit and undismayed courage. The Indian women broke away from various restrictions and got out of their traditional home-oriented roles and responsibilities. So, the participation of women in the freedom struggle and National awakening is simply incredible and praiseworthy. However, it is not easy for women to fight as warrior’s in the male dominating society. Even though females tried to change the perception of such orthodox people who thought women are meant to do only household chores. Moreover, females not only sacrifice their lives but also combat such issues. Rani Laxmi Bhai was one of such women who fought against British role by mitigating all odds, hence this paper entitles to highlight the legacy that women showed in the history by showing their fierce nature. Keywords: Indian, Women, Freedom movement, Role, Society INTRODUCTION In the pre-independence period, the status of women within the country was in a deprived state. The major cause of this was, there was a prevalence of male dominance.

It is a widespread and persistent challenge in India, linked directly to patriarchy and its foundational belief that men have the privilege and the power to inflict violence upon women. Rooted in women’s subordinate status, it is linked both to the institution of patriarchy as well as the concept of masculinity – that a ‘real man’ is one who inflicts violence against women. GBV is a major obstacle in women’s enjoyment of their human rights and fundamental rights as guaranteed by the Indian Constitution. 11.2 OBJECTIVES After Completing this Unit, you will be able to: Know the concept of gender-based violence; Illustrate forms of gender-based violence and the extent of their prevalence in India and elsewhere; Identify causes and consequences of such violence; Highlight various ways of addressing and responding to such violence, including through law and social action.

    VOL.3 ISSUE 1 DROIT PENALE: INDIAN LAW JOURNAL ON CRIME & CRIMINOLOGY ISSN: 2456-7280 THWARTING CRIME AGAINST WOMEN: MEETING CHALLENGES THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION Tulika Sinha1 ABSTRACT Historically speaking, women have been always subjected to whims and ambitions of men. This has laid foundation to several types of crimes and atrocities on them. To prevent such crime and atrocity has been challenge for the society as a whole that includes our legal structure also. Our legal system has laid several laws time and again in order to meet the challenges, so posed in emancipation of women and doing away with the atrocities against women. Time has proved that laws alone cannot meet such challenges and that requires to be met with its proper application working and monitoring. Precisely law can be considered as means and not ends to meet the challenges thrown to it. This paper mainly aims to discuss how women have been subjected to atrocities since time immemorial, be it the ‘sati pratha’ or the ‘triple talaq’ system. It has always acted as tools to suppress women. The present paper will further discuss how continuous suppression has made women vulnerable to crime and criminal acts. This paper will throw light on how law prevents commission of crime against women and what kind of challenges it faces. These challenges will be dealt in two sections firstly in prevention of crime, that is how our legal system tries to set guidelines to regulate ones behavior and activity so that it prevents one from commission of crime and secondly in administration of justice that is in case any crime is committed, laying down rigorous punishment so that it deters the rest and helps such women to get justice and restore their status.
