Their actions contributed to the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, marking a significant victory for the movement. Images of women standing resolutely against police forces symbolized a broader feminist assertion in public spaces. While the protests have dispersed, their impact and the symbolism of female empowerment remain influential in ongoing democratic discourse.
