Abstract

Legal literacy is a requirement for preventing violence against women. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act-2005 and other laws aimed at empowering women was first introduced in India. Whether women are aware of the law is crucial, and every national news story regarding domestic and workplace abuse against women is incorporated into them. While the Government of India has passed several regulations to support and safeguard women against violence, these laws remain ineffective since the nation's female population lacks an understanding of them. The current study examined the amount of legal knowledge among women of various occupations, levels of education, and income, as well as how it affected their day-to-day lives about violence. The results strongly correlate with education, earnings, professional activity, and legal knowledge. Also, it was discovered that legal expertise and victimization of inversely connected to women.
