In 2012, the brutal Nirbhaya incident shocked the conscience of the nation.

It also exposed the deep fissures in India's legal and administrative framework for women's safety. Inadequate policing, slow judicial response, outdated laws, and near-total absence of survivor support systems painted a bleak picture.

By 2014, India stood at a crossroads. Public outrage was loud, but the legal machinery remained sluggish. Fast-track courts were a concept, not a reality.

Women's issues were viewed as social concerns and national priorities.
