The trafficking of women in India leads government to rethink the judicial process July 12, 2008
Posted by ivanildafigueiredo in News.trackback
The Chief of Justice of India, K.G. Balakrishna, expressed grave concern with the increasing number of women being trafficked in the country. He addressed the judiciary, asking it to deal more sternly with those who violate the rights of women. Another point stressed was the need for a separate high court in each state in the northeast.
H.R. Bhardwaj promised he would try increasing the number of women judges in the northeastern areas. Low level income women are the ones who suffer the most with human traffic. Therefore, these measures should be directed towards poorest areas.
The Indian president, Patil, also tried reaching out to the judges in order to speed up the process.
