ABOUT CENTRE FOR GENDER JUSTICE STUDIES<\/p>\n

The Centre for Gender Justice Studies is an endeavor of the Maharashtra National Law University, Nagpur to respond to the emerging regime of rights of different genders and their protection granting them the liberty for full realization of their basic rights. With a commitment of novel contributions to the subject area, the Centre endeavors to undertake interdisciplinary studies involving legal academia and the other stakeholders and contribute in the
\nbest possible manner to the global pool of knowledge on the subject The constitution of India guarantees equality before law and equal protection of laws. Drawing from the same, the indispensable significance of equal rights for all genders becomes apparent. However, despite bettering rates of literacy in the country, it is egregious to observe deeply vested forms of discriminations being practiced in the society that marginalize and outcast some. This form of violence needs to be dealt with iron hand where along with legal back-up, an effective communitarian support is absolutely required. At a time like this, it is hopeful to observe the growing umbrella of feminism that has sprawled wide enough to include the rainbow community and ensure justice to genders who fear free expression of their choices.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SEMINAR<\/b><\/p>\n

Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. It is important to observe that sex is biological manifestation of an individual, while gender is a social tag that is based on certain pre-defined norms. The Constitution of India
\nenshrines principles of equality before law and that all should be given equal opportunities, but fighting the odds of discrimination and prejudices is still a long way. Moreover, Goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals 2015 envisages gender equality by the year 2030 and to achieve the same, the persistent obstacles must be fought with unwavering spirit. To achieve an overall development, the marginalized genders must engage socially,
\neconomically and politically on a larger level and that is the most effective manner through which they can carve an equal space for themselves on the stage. In this backdrop, the Maharashtra National Law University, Nagpur, is organizing a Two Days National Seminar on \u2018Gender Just ice- Breaking Stereotypes, Discriminations and Prejudices’.<\/p>\n
