Nearly a year ago, more than 270 partner NGOs of @JustRightsIndia came together before the #SupremeCourt to challenge a deeply disturbing judgment of the #Allahabad High Court that held that grabbing a child’s breasts and breaking her pyjama string did not amount to attempt to rape. Today, the Supreme Court of India has not only set aside that controversial judgment, but the ruling itself has restored faith in the judiciary to place justice above all else.
Inconsistent interpretations of the law, personal opinion and bias, and at times a lack of responsibility and accountability within the judicial process have often resulted in victim shaming and blaming, and in many cases have forced victims to abandon the pursuit of justice. This judgment marks a critical correction for future generations.
A landmark moment for @MinistryWCD as Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji chaired and guided the valedictory session of the National Departmental Summit on Women & Child Development.
Under his visionary leadership, we are driving a monumental shift-transforming Anganwadis into vibrant hubs of 'Jan Bhagidari', achieving seamless inter-departmental convergence for women's safety, and putting absolute focus on the holistic growth of adolescent girls.
Redefining governance to build a Suposhit, Surakshit, and Sashakt Bharat!

The #SupremeCourt’s Just Right for Children Alliance & Anr. v. S. Harish & Ors. judgment has now entered the Allahabad High Court’s series, “Historical Judgments in e-Booklet Form”, alongside the Chauri-Chaura Case, Keshav Singh Case, Agra Conspiracy Case, Cawnpore Bomb Blast Case and Raj Narain v. Indira Nehru Gandhi . It is an honour to see it recognised in such august company. A judgment born out of the fight to protect children will now have a wider impact on how the law on child protection is understood. https://t.co/7V5kGZ3eJP
A defining moment for a #BalVivahMuktBharat.
Tomorrow, India takes a decisive step forward as Hon’ble Minister of Women and Child Development Smt @Annapurna4BJP launches the 100 Days Intensive Awareness Campaign at Vigyan Bhawan.
I urge everyone to watch this national moment live with your family, friends and colleagues. Let us come together and reaffirm our collective resolve to end child marriage. @MinistryWCD

कल देर रात्रि पुलिस अधीक्षक आशुतोष शेखर के साथ गढ़वा मंडल कारा में औचक छापेमारी की गई। सघन तलाशी के दौरान कोई भी प्रतिबंधित सामग्री नहीं मिली। जेल की सुरक्षा व्यवस्था सामान्य एवं संतोषजनक पाई गई।

Thank you @katyayani13 for articulating this with rare clarity, forcing us to ask where the responsibility for prevention truly belongs. No child can ever be responsible for an adult’s violence or be made to carry its shame. The shame must switch sides.
True justice does not lie in giving girls a handbook for escaping violence. It lies in preventing the crime in the first place. https://t.co/uKYBHuurqH
I thank the Hon’ble #SupremeCourt for placing prevention at the heart of the response to sexual violence against women and girls, and for calling on the @DelhiPolice to create fear of the #ruleoflaw in the minds of perpetrators.
When the first transgression goes unchecked, it normalises the next. Harassment, stalking, assault and rape do not exist in isolation. There is a continuum from zero to rape, and rape and beyond. When we look away from the first act of violation, we reinforce impunity. The rule of law must act at the first transgression and create certainty that every violation will have consequences. That is real deterrence.
#SevaSankalpAbhiyan | आज रांची के हटिया-लटमा रोड स्थित ‘अपना घर’ वृद्धाश्रम में बुजुर्ग माताओं के बीच आत्मीय और बेहद भावपूर्ण समय बिताने का अवसर मिला। उनसे संवाद कर उनके जीवन के अनुभवों को जाना, उनकी आवश्यकताओं को समझा और हरसंभव आवश्यक सहयोग के लिए प्रयास किया।
इस अवसर पर स्थानीय स्कूल की बच्चियों ने शानदार प्रस्तुति दी और स्वागत किया। उनसे भी संवाद करने का अवसर मिला।
हमारा दायित्व है कि अपने बुजुर्गों को साथ लेकर चलें और उन्हें सम्मान, स्नेह एवं अपनापन दें। सभी पीढ़ियों को साथ लेकर चलने से ही एक संवेदनशील और सशक्त समाज का निर्माण होगा।
Our partners remain committed to making every village child marriage free.
As we move towards the inaugural International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage on #27November, our resolve is clear: #ChildMarriageFreeIndia by 2030.
For our 250+ partners on the ground, this brings greater scale, institutional strength and accountability to efforts to end child marriage.
We thank @MinistryWCD, Hon’ble Minister @Annapurna4BJP and Hon’ble MoS @savitrii4bjp for driving #BalVivahMuktBharat in mission mode.
Across India, @JustRightsIndia partners joined Special Gram Sabhas on #GandhiJayanti to take forward the resolve of a Child Marriage Free Bharat. We thank the Government of India, under Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi, for taking this national mission to villages across India.
