The National Commission for Women (NCW) is a statutory body established in January 1992 under the National Commission for Women Act, 1990 [5].

The commission's mandate includes investigating and examining all matters relating to the safeguards provided for women under the Constitution and other laws, as well as reviewing existing constitutional and legal provisions to recommend amendments for addressing inadequacies [2]. Furthermore, the NCW is specifically empowered to advise the Government on all policy matters affecting women and to make periodical reports regarding their status and difficulties [3].
