The upcoming\u00a0National\u00a0Conference on Human Rights\u00a0and Gender Justice\u00a0with the\u00a0Legal Aid\u00a0Awards\u00a0will reflect and take stock of how far\u00a0India\u00a0has come as a county since the promulgation of the\u00a0democratic Constitution in1950. It will envision an India\u00a0where human rights are protected, respected and fulfilled; Gender Justice is observed and Legal Aid is available to all. The Conference will bring various stakeholders and\u00a0youth to take stock and envision this future together; and to explore how to support and\u00a0realize\u00a0the opportunities presented by the Youth Dividend through Sustainable Development Goals. 2019\u00a0marks the 71stAnniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) adopted on 10th\u00a0December 1948, the historic document set the fundamental rights that would be protected internationally,\u00a0recognizing\u00a0human rights as the foundation for freedom, justice and peace everywhere.<\/p>\n

Through this Conference, we aim to highlight the gap\u00a0created between genders and how this gap in many ways violates the Human Rights, as a result of which there comes difficulties in providing Legal Aid.\u00a0This\u00a0National conference on Human Rights and Gender Justice is organized with an aim to bring together academicians, students, human rights activists and other intellectuals on one platform to discuss the various issues concerning human rights and to discuss the measures to curb such issues.<\/p>\n

Knowledge\u00a0Steez\u00a0has been actively organizing social awareness and legal aid workshops throughout the country and this conference, which will be the\u00a04th\u00a0edition to it, will aim at providing the participants with an option to join us in our campaigns and hence the conference will not merely be limited to on table discussions, rather it will provide various options to implement the discussions on field.<\/p>\n

Theme of\u00a0the Conference<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, from birth until death. They apply regardless of where you are from, what you believe or how you choose to live your life. They can never be taken away, although they can sometimes be restricted \u2013\u00a0for example if a person breaks the law, or in the interests of national security.\u00a0But sadly due to the increasing number of Gender Inequality,\u00a0and since\u00a0these basic rights are based on shared values like dignity, fairness, equality, respect and independence, there arises another problem of providing legal aid to everyone.\u00a0These values are defined and protected by law.\u00a0This conference aims\u00a0to bring together innovative academics and industrial experts in\u00a0these fields\u00a0to a\u00a0common forum and also envision to deliberate on feasible\u00a0approaches to\u00a0the above mentioned facets for better Development and Implementation of future Laws\u00a0and policies for the stakeholders.<\/p>\n
