These amendments, borne out of legislative reforms, harbor multifaceted objectives geared towards fortifying the justice system's efficacy, equity, and responsiveness to evolving crime dynamics. Primarily, the amendments accentuate a robust stance against crimes targeting vulnerable groups, notably women and children.
