Abstract

A person may encounter identity and gender-based prejudice wherever they travel. Despite specific legislation, Indian women face similar challenges. Despite a long history, this is the case. Males, lesbians, gays, transwomen, transmen, and queer people are also prejudiced. The long legislation identifies only men as sexually harassing women, which discriminates and differentiates. This law also doesn't protect lesbian, gay, or transgender people from discrimination. This shows how little protection these groups receive when their rights are violated. Because gender equality affects everyone in the community and helps shape a just community's foundation, the problem of social inequality covers an infinite and all- encompassing canvas. The law can protect people, but it's rarely used against innocent people. When protected class members abuse their security to satisfy unfair demands or egos, abuse and law enforcement must be considered together. Constitutional machinery must consider the possibility that criminals may become victims when enacting and enforcing laws. Guaranteeing equal protection for everyone will prevent law abuse against the defenseless. This article examines India's human rights contributions, current problems, and long-term goals as the world's largest democracy. This article discusses how gender-neutral laws aren't as good as existing laws and how important they are in India's changing culture.

Keywords: Social Inequality, Sexually Harassing, Gender-Based Prejudice, Constitutional Machinery
