Empowering Women Through Environmental Protection
Get PDFWomen symbolize „Prakrati‟ means „nature‟ in Indian Philosphy. She creates and nurtures the creation to bloom. She signifies „shakti‟ the power that drives the system. Throughout the history, women have been immortalized as powerful symbols of nature. Mother earth, Earth Goddess women have personified nature and given nature its infinite meaning. Women have direct contact with natural resources like fuel, food and fodder, forest water and land specially in rural areas where 70% of Indian reside and directly dependent upon natural resources. A lot of studies on women and environment have shown that women are significant actors in natural resource management and they are major contributors to environmental rehabilitation and conservation. Women‟s direct contact with environment has produced them deep-knowledge about the environment. Thus, women have served as agriculturalists, water resource manager, and traditional scientists, among others. Women are not only knowledgeable about the environment, but they are also protective and caring. Women and the environment are closely bound and interconnected. Therefore women as beares and conserver of life, as those who first guide children, should be foremost in dedication to the environmental cause
Legal Rights for the Empowerment of Women: An Analytical Study
Get PDFIn India the status of women is very low in comparison to men. They treated as a subordinate in the society. Women in independent India have more rights than their counterparts in many other countries of the world. But most of our women are not very much conscious of their rights. If we talk about rural women, they are totally unaware about their rights due to high intensity of patriarchal values in the family. They are only busy in child bearing and other household activities. Such unawareness and less education make them feeble in comparison to men. Through the present paper the attempt has been made to focus on the status of women in Ancient India and in present India and their legal rights
Women Empowerment: Constitutional Provision
Get PDF“Empowering women is a prerequisite for creating a good nation, when women are empowered, society with stability is assured. Empowerment of women is essential as their thoughts and their value systems lead to the development of a good family, good society and ultimately a good nation.” –A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Formal-President Govt. of India. Women are main founder of the world as well as men. So that in India women are called “Ardhangini‟ and in western countries she is called „Better women in society. Empowerment of women is very essential for the development of society because women play an import key role in all the fields of development. Women contribute directly or indirectly for the economic development. Women play a strategic role in the developmentof society in particular and development economy in general. Although from last two centuries, in India, the position of women is so hazardous that year 2001 is announced as the year of “EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN, 2001.” Empowerment of women involves many things-economic opportunity, property rights, political representation, social equality, personal rights and so on. The process of empowerment is taking place at so many levels that it is quite difficult to gauge the actual nature and extent of empowerment in improving status of women

Disability – Is Itself An Ability
Get PDFIn India, people are not aware about Right of Disable Person. Such person still thinks that God has made them such to survive in the world and feel depressed by their inability. But, that’s not true at all. God has given him strength that not even normal person can do. To deal with disability and still doing the same work and daily routine as a normal person is great ability given by God tosuch Special Persons. Disability in normal sense any defect either physical or mental. There is some diseased person who is also covered under disability. We often see the recruitment area where special seats are reserved for such disable persons. This is what? This is the Rights given to them by Law. So many Laws had given rights to such Special Person, such as Constitution of India, Labour laws, Family Laws, Income Tax Act, Educational laws, etc. People with different kind of Disability are not aware about such laws and provisions regarding their Rights. To make them aware is necessary for making them feel independent and able. So by this research paper I want to spread awareness. My motive behind this is to think every people that; Disability is not an ability which they don’t have in their lives. But, it’s an ability which is different from other normal persons
Marital Rape: Legal Framework In India
Get PDFMarital rape violates the right of dignity of a married woman. It breaches the trust of wife. Even then, it is not criminalized as rape in India. It raises a question, is a married woman being considered an object or the property of the husband. It also raises the question, as to does a married woman has right to save her body from the lust of her husband. No doubt the purpose of the marriage is to provide right to have sex with wife. This paper points out whether this right can be coupled with force or right to have sex is only coupled with will or consent of wife. The purpose of the marriage in point of view of right to have sex should only be providing satisfaction of biological need without any check or burden of society and law. India has been a male dominated society and it is also a fact that Indian culture gives special status to the women. Today, we talk about women empowerment. Many rights have been provided to the women in India. But in a male dominated society, would women be empowered in real sense without criminalizing marital rape. The main purpose of this paper is to find out as to whether sex without the consent of wife should be considered as rape. Doctrinal method of research will be applied in this paper
School for Justice- A Ray of Hope for Children Trafficked for The Purposes of Commercial Sexual Exploitation
Get PDFProstitution has been there in our society since time immemorial. However, the concept of children entering this flesh trade is relatively new and is becoming rampant. It refers to the sexual exploitation of a child for remuneration in cash or in kind, usually but not organised by an intermediary (parent, family members, procurer, etc.). Various reports show how India houses the highest number of children who are engaged in flesh trade. Child prostitution is one of the worst and the most unbearable abuses of human rights. The hardships involved in these cases is unimaginable. The Government of India has taken various steps to curb the problem of child prostitution. The Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD), Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) etc. have taken several initiatives through different programmes to deal with the problems of trafficking of children for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation. There are several international as well as domestic legislations for the protection of child rights against trafficking for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation. The Judiciary also has responded in multifarious ways to prostitution on children including defining the rights of victims and creating institutional mechanisms for their safeguards and enforcement. Despite various legislative, administrative and judicial measures being taken, the problem of trafficking of children for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation is rising day by day. Day by day the number of children falling into this so called flesh trade is increasing. Time has come where the world needs to understand that there is no point in worrying about the concerned problem without really doing something about it and taking some action globally in order to prevent these innocent kids from falling into the trap of flesh trade. To curb the practice of child prostitution the need of the hour is awareness, sensitization and education on the issue of child prostitution

Loktantra Ke Staronniyan me Nyaypalika ki Bhoomika: The Role of the Judiciary in the Levels of Democracy
No full textIt has been more than six decades since India embarked on the path of republican democracy. In this journey, we have not only successfully faced various challenges related to democracy and strengthened our political system, but also deepened the roots of democracy by extending it to the panchayats. Indian democracy has become a powerful testimony to socio-economic, political and constitutional changes. At the time of independence, when Indian society was mired in conservative traditions and our political situation was not fit to be called a "modern society" in the contemporary sense, we moulded it in the spirit of democracy and took it so far towards progress that we never had to look back. This is a testimony to our democratic resilience and vibrancy. To provide momentum and stability to such changes, the Constitution has provided certain rights and duties to the three organs of the \u27State\u27, which must be performed within their prescribed limits so that these organs can keep the institution of the \u27State\u27 relevant
