External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj-led group of ministers on Wednesday approved a draft National Policy for Women, PTI reported. The draft policy proposes free education for girls from economically weaker sections and a health card for women. The policy document will now be sent to the Cabinet.

“The group of ministers has approved the policy,” a spokesperson of the Women and Child Development Ministry said. “Some changes over four meetings between March and June. In its fifth meeting today, the GoM adopted the policy document.”

The policy also proposes that a woman accused of a non-heinous crime, who has remained under-trial for one-third of her jail time, be given bail. The spokesperson said the move will help women from economically weak families who are accused of petty crimes and cannot afford bail.
