The National Commission for Women (NCW) in India was established under the National Commission for Women Act, 1990, as a statutory body with the primary objective of safeguarding and promoting the rights of women in the country. Its powers and functions are designed to address issues related to gender discrimination, women’s welfare, and social justice, acting as a bridge between the government, civil society, and women facing violations of their rights. From the perspective of criminal justice research and advocacy, the NCW serves both as a monitoring agency and an advisory body that influences policy, legal reform, and public awareness regarding women’s issues. One of the primary functions of the NCW is to review existing laws, policies, and programs relating to women. This includes examining whether existing statutes adequately protect women’s rights and recommending amendments or new legislation to address emerging challenges. For instance, the NCW played an instrumental role in advocating for amendments to the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013, following the Nirbhaya case, which enhanced provisions related to sexual assault, criminal liability, and the speed of judicial processes. Through such interventions, the NCW ensures that legal frameworks remain relevant and effective in protecting women, which is crucial for criminal justice research aimed at understanding the impact of law on social behavior. The commission has quasi-judicial powers to investigate complaints of violation of women’s rights. It can directly intervene in cases of harassment, domestic violence, dowry-related offenses, sexual assault, or discrimination in employment and education. Women can approach the NCW with complaints, and the commission is authorized to summon individuals, examine documents, and call for evidence in the course of its inquiries. This investigative power allows the NCW to act as an advocacy tool, providing evidence-based recommendations for both preventive and corrective measures in the criminal justice system. Research on these cases provides insights into patterns of violence, systemic barriers, and gaps in law enforcement responses, aiding both policy-making and scholarly understanding of gendered crime. The NCW also undertakes studies and research to identify the social, economic, and legal challenges faced by women. These studies often
