@IndiaMeToo Ironically, the GoM is headed by a cis-het man. And has two uppercaste women on it, anyway, coming to the policy part:
There should also be an advisory committee consisting of women from all marginalised sections so that our concerns don't get sidelined.

@IndiaMeToo Policy changes need to think of accessibility, literacy and the institutions should be local so that survivors can engage with tools directly without going through an expensive and traumatic police, legal system.
@IndiaMeToo Representation at all levels - legal, medical, decision making shall be made mandatory i.e., they should rework on the composition of panels, committees and groups that are set up.
@IndiaMeToo Immediate availability of modern medical facilities even ar rural level is something that needs to be worked on immediately. Also, provison of long term trauma counselling in government hospitals shall be made possible.
@IndiaMeToo Due process has always failed marginalised women to extremes- measures to be taken to prevent this by appointing judges from marginalised sections at major courts is the need of hour. How many supreme court judges till now are from the oppressed castes/sections?
