Gender Based Violence: Exploring the role of Political Institutions in Jharkhand and Rajasthan

Abstract Gender-based violence (GBV) continues to be a major issue in India, with places such as Jharkhand and Rajasthan demonstrating high rates of such violence due to deeply ingrained socio-cultural norms, economic inequities, and institutional inefficiencies. This study investigates the role of political institutions in addressing and reducing gender-based violence in these two states, with a focus on legislative frameworks, policy implementation, and the involvement of local governance structures, particularly Panchayati Raj Institutions. The study investigates how state governments, law enforcement agencies, and women's representation in political decision-making affect the efficacy of GBV prevention and response strategies. It also evaluates the effectiveness of specific measures, such as state-level gender legislation, victim assistance programs, and legal remedies. The study employs a qualitative approach, analyzing policy documents, government reports, and case studies to evaluate institutional responses. Findings indicate that while legislative measures exist, gaps in enforcement, patriarchal resistance, and limited institutional accountability hinder progress.
