History

Historical Context

The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) was constituted by the Delhi government in 1994 under the Delhi Commission for Women Act and began operating in 1996 to investigate and recommend safeguards for women, including spousal violence. Its creation gave Delhi its first statutory body for women’s safety, a framework echoed today as police and fire services confront emergency entry protocols.
