Within law enforcement, women make up only 7.28% of India's total police force. Of these, 90% are constables, while less than 1% hold supervisory positions. Would improving this gender bias within the force help in ensuring that the police is able to carry out its duties more effectively?

Join us for the fifth Anahita Speaker Series session of 2020, as Mokshada Patil—superintendent of police, Aurangabad Rural­­—draws on her years long experience to discuss how creating a gender equal police force can create conditions for effective policing, and how police authorities can work with various stakeholders to build trust. The discussion will be moderated by Sharon Robson, a Vedica scholar.
