The Tamil Nadu government has decided to set up a safe house in every district to provide security to individuals and families vulnerable to, or affected by, honour killings, caste killings and related violence. Announcing the decision in the Assembly, Minister for Social Justice Vanni Arasu said it was in line with the Supreme Court's judgment in Shakti Vahini versus Union of India and followed representations from survivors of honour killings and activists. The government also indicated it would enact separate legislation against caste killings.
