The Parliamentary Committee on Empowerment of Women released the report titled “Safety and Protection of Women in Unorganised Sector”.

It states that women migrant workers remain largely unrecorded and lack proper protection under labour laws.
The report finds low enrolment of women workers in the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan (PM-SYM) Scheme in some regions.
It notes that many Local Committees under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013 are not fully functional or not well known.
Under the Palna Scheme of Mission Shakti, only 6.24% of funds were used and only 2,425 Anganwadi-cum-Creche Centres are operational out of 14,599 approved.
