Bhubaneswar, Dec 2: In a significant move to strengthen women's safety and rights, the Odisha government has announced the creation of four fast-track courts dedicated solely to cases involving crimes against women. This initiative aims to expedite legal proceedings and provide timely justice to women across the state.
These specialized courts will focus on handling cases related to domestic violence, sexual harassment, trafficking, and other gender-based offenses. By prioritizing such cases, the government seeks to reduce the lengthy delays typically associated with the justice system and enhance the overall legal response to crimes against women.
With the backlog of cases being a major concern, the introduction of fast-track courts will ensure that these sensitive issues are dealt with swiftly, fostering greater trust in the legal system.
The state authorities are currently working on the necessary infrastructure and staffing to ensure the courts are fully functional as soon as possible.
This initiative underscores Odisha's dedication to creating a safer environment for women, ensuring their legal rights are protected, and providing a platform for justice that is both quick and effective.
It aligns with the state’s broader vision of promoting gender equality and building a more secure, inclusive society for all citizens.
