| Summary, etc | The most sought-after topic now-a-days is Women Empowerment. The word defines itself loud and clear. Despite the initiatives taken to empower women in their respective fields, the weight of gender biasness and stereotyping drags the concept downwards. Policing is such an occupation which supports the concept of women empowerment but still has biasness and stereotyping which is deeply rooted in their system. Over the globe and in India, women are mostly compartmentalized to address issues and investigate crimes related to children and women, which is purely based on stereotyping. This practice is basically keeping the women police officials from mainstream policing, addressing major issues and policy making. This statement can be backed by the fact that in India the ratio of women police officials to male police officials is very low, and of women police personnel in decision making level to their male counterparts is even lower. According the Data on Police Organizations Report of 2022, the total number of Gazetted women police personnel are only 1,625 whereas the number of non-Gazetted women police personnel are 212,935. The concept of women empowerment has somehow taken the initiative to increase the intake of women in policing but the institutional reforms doesn't emphasize on gender equality. Women police in India not only struggle with issues of Biasness and Stereotyping but also face Family pressure, Physical struggles, Physiological struggles, Male jokes, lack of sanitation in workplace among others. This study aims to address the psychological health issues faced by women police personnel due to job and family pressure and discover solutions to curb the issues. The possible reasons for deterioration of psychological health can ultimately be family issues and the coarse environment of the job. The main concern to limit these issues can be found by looking into it more closely. These problems can then be addressed by conducting psychological health welfare programs and by conducting counselling of the suffering person.- Reproduced https://bprd.nic.in/uploads/pdf/IPJ%20JULY%20-%20DECEMBER%202023.pdf |
