Delhi High Court Orders Survey of Police Stations for Women’s Sanitary Facilities
The Delhi High Court has directed the Delhi Police Commissioner to survey all police stations within six weeks to assess the availability of sanitary pad vending machines and exclusive washrooms for women personnel. This follows a public interest litigation by the NGO Justice for Rights Foundation, which highlighted a near absence of such facilities, violating women's rights to dignity and health. The court ordered the police to take appropriate steps based on the survey and submit a compliance affidavit by the next hearing.
