The skit put forward by the students of NLSIU focused on the protection of women from Domestic Violence Act. After this skit the students went on to explain The Domestic Violence Act, 2005, the rights of women under this Act and the procedure followed while filing a petition under this Act. The spectators seemed quite interested in this and put forward questions regarding the same. The L.L.P achieved its aim of sensitizing the students about domestic violence and the rights granted to women by this Act.
The first L.L.P of this year was quite a success, a good sign for all the L.L.Ps ahead.
