Delhi High Court Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya has emphasised that women need to be respected more than they are to be worshiped. Chief Justice Upadhyaya said this on Tuesday while speaking at an event organised by the Delhi State Legal Service Authority (DSLSA) to celebrate International Women's Day, which falls on March 8.

Addressing the event, he highlighted the need for women's empowerment and gender equality. He said, "Gender equality is yet to be fully achieved." "We need to change our mindset in relation to gender-related issues," he added. Meanwhile, the Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA) has started a project, 'Virangana'.
