Book lists down laws affecting Indian women

Various reports and studies in the past have showed that women in India are exploited and aren’t safe even in their own houses. Being the largest democracy in the world, all citizens in India have a fair share of rights that why are women so oppressed in this country? One of the major reasons for this is a lack of awareness amongst people.

To address this issue FICCI FLO has launched a book called 'Laws affecting woman in India,' that lists down all legal rights of women in India, right from birth. The laws include a woman’s right to birth control, laws governing her marriage, inheritance, succession and other legal protections at their places of work, according to Times of India.
