As part of her prep work for the courtroom drama, Section 375, Richa Chadha realised that the dearth of female public prosecutors in the country could be the reason for the lack of sensitivity towards crimes against women.

Tackling gender disparity in this profile, she believes, could go a long way in encouraging empathy towards survivors. Chadha, who plays a public prosecutor in the upcoming drama, tells mid-day, "The government is doing its bit by setting up more Mahila courts [in the country] that tackle crimes against women. Such courts are also being presided over by female judges."
