The Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986, was a landmark law designed to prevent the objectification and inappropriate portrayal of women in advertisements, publications, and other forms of media. The Act was passed in 1986, as a response to the increasing portrayal of women in a derogatory and indecent manner, often leading to the reinforcement of negative stereotypes. The law extends to the whole of India, making it applicable across the country without exception. According to the Act, indecent representation refers to any depiction of a woman's body that is obscene, derogatory, or likely to corrupt public morality. The Act also has provisions for penalties, including fines and imprisonment, for those found guilty of indecent representation. Moreover, the Act will come into force on a date appointed by the Central Government, as notified in the Official Gazette. Amendments to the Act have been proposed over time to expand its scope, particularly in the context of digital and online content. Despite these progressive features, enforcement remains a challenge, especially in the rapidly changing media landscape, which increasingly includes social media and streaming platforms.
