There are several constitutional provisions for women and children in india :-

Constitutional Provisions for Women

Art. 15(3): This allows the state to create special rules for women and children. The government has passed many laws, like the Dowry Prevention Act and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005, to help women.

Art. 23: The basic right against exploitation bans the flesh trade.

Art. 39: This ensures women get the same pay as men for doing the same work. In Randhir Singh vs Union of India, the Supreme Court said equal pay for equal work is a key goal of our constitution. People can ask the court to enforce this right under Art. 32.

Art. 40: This sets aside one-third of seats in panchayats for women.

Art. 42: This gives women free care during pregnancy and childbirth.

Art. 44: This pushes the state to bring in a single civil code for everyone. This would make life better for women of all religions. But politics has stopped this from happening so far.

Constitutional Provisions for Children

Article 19 A: The government has made education up to age 14 a basic right.

Article 24: Kids have a basic right to be free from exploitation. It’s against the law to hire children under 14 in factories or dangerous jobs. The government has just added housework, hotel jobs, and restaurant work to the list of dangerous jobs for kids.

Art. 45: Pushes the state to offer care and education for kids up to 6 years old.
