Nari Adalats: Women-Only Courts for Alternative Dispute Resolution

Nari Adalats: Women-Only Courts for Alternative Dispute Resolution: The Indian government is introducing a ground-breaking project known as Nari Adalats, which are village-level women-only courts. These courts serve as alternative conflict resolution platforms for topics such as domestic violence, property rights, and patriarchal system challenges. By providing a platform for resolution outside of the traditional judicial system, the government aims to empower women and promote gender justice.
