Kerala Government Proposes Special Act to Protect Women from Social Media Attacks
Kerala's government, led by Chief Minister V D Satheesan, is considering a special Act to protect women from insults and attacks on social media, citing limited protection under current laws. The initiative aims to safeguard ordinary women who lack means to defend themselves online. Alongside this, the government plans projects to promote women's financial independence, including targeted programs for Kudumbashree members. These efforts are part of a broader policy discussion under the 'Makalkoppam' seminar to develop a comprehensive women's policy.
