The National Federation of Indian Women (NFIW) has called for action against Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra of the Allahabad High Court for controversial observations undermining legal protections against crimes targeting women and children.

The Supreme Court intervened, staying the remarks and highlighting their insensitivity. NFIW leaders express grave concerns, emphasizing that such judgments threaten to institutionalize patriarchal ideologies and undermine hard-earned women's rights.

NFIW also called for gender sensitivity training for judges, citing multiple cases reflecting an anti-women judicial mindset. They are planning a nationwide campaign to ensure the judiciary remains aligned with constitutional principles of equality and justice.
