Swati Maliwal: What to know about the activist and former DCW chair

Swati Maliwal is best known as a public voice for women's safety and rights in India. She served as chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women and has repeatedly pushed for faster police response, clearer victim support, and tougher legal action on sexual and domestic violence. If you want straightforward coverage — interviews, protests, policy moves and public statements — this tag collects it all.

Who she is and what she fights for

Swati Maliwal works in the public eye to hold institutions to account. She focuses on three practical areas: helping survivors access immediate support, pushing for system-level changes in law enforcement and courts, and raising public awareness so victims aren’t blamed or ignored. She uses media, petitions, and public events to keep pressure on decision-makers.

That means you’ll see reporting tied to actions like demands for faster FIRs, calls for better police training on gender-based crimes, and campaigns to expand support services such as women’s help desks and legal aid. Coverage here highlights what she says, how authorities react, and what changes (if any) follow.
