Shakti Act : A Beacon of Hope for Maharashtra's Women

The efficacy of Maharashtra, India’s Shakti Act of 2020, a legislative measure aimed at reducing violence against women and children, depends on public knowledge. The purpose of this study is to find out how much the people of Maharashtra currently know about the provisions of the Act. The study uses focused approaches, such as surveys and questionnaires, in addition to media depictions. It seeks to determine the degree of comprehension among various demographic groups, paying special attention to those who might be at risk. Any disparities in awareness depending on social background, location, or information access will be clarified by this investigation. This research can help shape targeted outreach programs and educational initiatives by detecting awareness gaps. For the Act’s intended beneficiaries to be able to take advantage of the legal protections it provides, there has to be a greater awareness among the public of its provisions. By reducing ignorance about the Shakti Act, this study seeks to make Maharashtra a safer place for women to live.
