Kerala Women's Commission Highlights Safety Challenges for Elderly Women
Kerala State Women's Commission chairperson P. Sathidevi highlighted the safety and social protection challenges faced by elderly women, including abandonment after property settlements and increasing cyberattacks. Most complaints at a district-level sitting involved family disputes, with some cases settled and others referred for legal assistance. Sathidevi also noted that women face security threats within families due to substance abuse and that law enforcement sometimes dismisses domestic violence complaints as family matters. Concerns were raised about the social isolation of elderly women and declining family values among children in conflicted households.
