Gender Neutrality

To remember

• In patriarchal society = condition of women = very bad.
• condition of a nation = looking at status of its women (Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru)
• Mahatma Gandhi started struggle for equality for everyone no matter what gender
• Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit = first women president of the United Nations General Assembly
• Savitribai Phule  started first girls school in India
• Indira Gandhi first +only female Prime minister of India
• Sucheta Kriplani = first woman Chief Minister in India, gujrat
• Justice Anna Chandy = first female judge in India + first women in India to become a high court judge
• Rani Lakshmibai led a huge revolt against britishers in India.

 

• Right to Equality in our constitution => equality must be in real terms
• laws must be equally applicable to everyone irrespective to their gender
• many of Indian laws are gender specific > protects only women => Men facing same problems > not backed by any law
• Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of sex, religion, caste, place of birth and race.
• In India > no particular law for a male victim of rape whether committed by a male or a female.

 

• Crime>no sexual orientation + neither law ought to be sex explicit
• words ”any man” utilized in the law=>  supplanted with word ”person”  => unbiased to permit a lady likewise to be rebuffed under it.
• having laws only for women => lacking => improved leads us to a gender neutral society
