Some provisions of the NCW Act specifically requires the commission to :
-
Investigate and examine all matters relating to the safeguards provided for
women under the Constitution and other laws;
-
Present to the Central Government, annually and at such other times as the
Commission may deem fit, reports upon the working of those safeguards;
-
Make in such reports recommendations for the effective implementation of those
safeguards for improving the conditions of women by the Union or any state;
-
Review, from time to time, the existing provisions of the Constitution and
other laws affecting women and recommend amendments thereto so as to suggest
remedial legislative measures to meet any lacunae, inadequacies or shortcomings
in such legislation;
-
Take up the cases of violation of the provision of the Constitution and of
other laws relating to women with appropriate authorities;
The primary mandate of the Commission is to review the constitutional and
legal safeguards provided for women, recommend remedial legislative measures,
felicitate redressal of grievances and advice the Government on all policy
matters affecting women.
