Police need to have specialized Gender based violence unit just like specialized gang unit. This unit must provide weekly reports on Gender based violence cases detailing progress and the reasons for delay. There needs to be a public database of all active cases

Why does this need Parliament. ? Government just needs to do their job effectively. The police and courts need to pull up their socks.
