Set up an office of Commissioner for Women's Rights to act on atrocities against women
“The office of the Commissioner for Womens Rights will be established to protect womens rights and take timely action in cases of atrocities towards women.”
The verdict
A National Commission for Women was set up in 1992. The party's 1996 manifesto says a Commissioner for Women's Rights also exists, but no independent record of such an office was found, so this is scored as partly done.
Rule applied: Partially kept: yes/no promise only partly done → 5
