Jul 03, 2025

In his keynote address, Justice Kotiswar emphasised that although considerable progress has been made, the portal represents a transformative leap, enhancing confidentiality, efficiency, and accessibility for survivors. He underscored the judiciary's proactive role in bridging legislative gaps, citing the Vishaka Guidelines as a testament to judicial responsiveness. "Sexual harassment," he said, "reflects entrenched misogynistic mindsets; it's not merely a personal affront but a threat to the values of liberty, justice, and equality enshrined in our Constitution."
