Explanation:

Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory's Lieutenant Governor recently announced 15 percent reservation for women in the non-gazetted posts in police.

The announcement was made on the occasion of National Girl Child Day.

The Lieutenant Governor added that the 15% reservation is just the beginning and the government is determined and committed to increase it further in the future.

With the move, the Jammu and Kashmir government administration has tried to show that it is committed to ensuring Nari Shaktis’ social and economic empowerment while redressing long-standing inequalities to build a more just and resilient society.

The step of 15 % reservation for women in Jammu and Kashmir Police will give due representation to women in the Police force and will ensure the availability of sufficient women personnel to engage exclusively in the matter of gender-based crimes.
