Overview
- The National Commission for Women, which submitted its plan Wednesday, asked four central ministries to act as the proposals now await government adoption.
- The package calls for a mandatory Golden Hour protocol so hospitals deliver emergency care in the first 60 minutes after an attack.
- It proposes free lifelong treatment with reconstructive, eye and dental care, assistive devices, trauma counseling, dedicated hospital units, and district burn care centers.
- The plan seeks a uniform compensation system with interim relief within 7–15 days, direct online transfer linked to FIRs, higher payouts based on severity, and monthly pensions.
- The blueprint urges Zero FIRs, quicker investigations and trials, a national registry linking police cases to care and compensation, a new disability ID category under the RPwD Act, and tighter licensing and audits for acid sales with updates to the 1919 Poison Act.
