Such gender based violence is one of the most recognized human rights violation and is pervasive in our society. Gender violence is a manifestation of an unequal power relation between men and women; and male patriarchy is cited as a cause for the prevalence of violence against women. It is necessary to increase the overall strength of women in police. Kolkata Police is striving hard to ensure safety to its citizens especially women. It is also necessary that civil society extend their helping hands to Kolkata Police to ensure safety and security for women.

However, from the late nineteenth century, women have started entering the traditional male domain of the police services. The struggle for opening this masculine domain to women has been long and hard. The factors responsible for such changes are better education, legal enactments and changing socio-cultural values. Women in police in India are now venturing into international law enforcement organizations. There are innumerable officers in India both male and female who have served the United Nations. In this paper, two case studies of women in international law enforcement are cited. The aim is not to singularly eulogize officers, but to present their work and create avenues for further research in this sphere. An in-depth research on Indian women police in international law enforcement is the need of the hour. It is necessary to document the work and activities of Indian police women who have served as well as are serving the U.N. It is also necessary to arrange sessions on dissemination of information regarding their experiences in U.N. A majority of women in subordinate ranks are not even aware of such opportunities that can be availed in police service. The state police academies should create awareness on UN and other international law enforcement bodies during the training period.

The institution of police has been heavily influenced by army corps or militia, adopting a military model for its training, uniform, promotional structure, formal work. Culturally ascribed and stereotyped masculine traits such as boldness, risk-taking, aggression, competitiveness, assertiveness, commanding voice, assertion of autonomy and authoritative expertise are regarded as quintessential attributes to be successful in this profession.

It shows how public and private patriarchy encircle the life of a woman in their everyday existence. The film tries to project that adjustments and compromises in marital relationships are not a defeat but a way towards a happy married life. The film conveys a message that adjustments, compromise, adaptations, help to cement a bond between two couples and marital relationships are worked out. Simultaneously the film does stereotype that a self-sufficient; assertive; woman with an independent mind; having human craving for love, time, space, from her partner, fails to work out a balanced conjugal relationship. Such a message is an enclosure by itself, and create restraints to the independence, relative autonomy and its feelings, women have earned after decades of struggle in a patriarchal society.
