Gender justice in India continues to be shaped by the intersection of legal frameworks, institutional accessibility, and spatial development. Despite progressive constitutional guarantees and legislative reforms, disparities in women’s empowerment persist due to uneven socio-economic conditions and regional inequalities. This study adopts an integrated analytical framework combining quantitative, qualitative, and geospatial methods to examine patterns of gender justice across Indian states. Multi-dimensional datasets from legal, social, developmental, and spatial domains were analysed to assess institutional effectiveness, policy implementation, and access to justice. The findings reveal significant regional disparities, with states such as Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Himachal Pradesh performing better in literacy, workforce participation, and legal infrastructure, while states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan continue to exhibit limited institutional outreach and high vulnerability, forming “justice deserts.” Spatial visualisations highlight clusters of disadvantage, particularly in rural and underserved areas, while statistical correlations demonstrate that lower Gender Inequality Index (GII) values align with higher Human Development Index (HDI) scores. The study concludes that achieving equitable gender justice requires region-specific legal interventions, targeted institutional strengthening, and the integration of spatial planning strategies to promote sustainable social and regional development. © 2025, Green Publication.
