Maliwal calls for better coordination between Centre, state

Delhi Commission for Women Chief Swati Maliwal, who is at constant loggerheads with the Union government, has called for better coordination between the Centre and the state.
Speaking at a conference on women's safety organised by the Centre for Social Research, Maliwal said more meetings between authorities at the central and state levels were required to boost safety and plug loopholes.
"There should be creation of a commission and coordination between the Parliament and the government," Maliwal said at the event held yesterday which was also attended by National Commission for Women Chairperson Lalitha Kumaramangalam.
In her address, Kumaramangalam said setting up of CCTV cameras and surveillance don't really help because criminals are "usually advanced users of technology".

She underlined how choosing dolls for the girl child and cars for boys was a form of "indoctrination" of the minds of children.
"Also, our advertisements show defined roles for mothers and fathers that needs to be changed," she said.
