Download or read book Comparative Legal Aid Systems and India written by Jeet Singh Mann and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth analysis of the functioning and challenges of the legal aid system in India. The legal aid system was set up to promote the interests of the economically weaker sections of society that did not have equitable access to judicial systems. However, the system has been largely unsuccessful in delivering justice. Drawing on empirical data from 18 states and 36 districts in India, the book highlights the institutional setbacks that plague the legal aid system and urges us to take cognizance of the hindrances faced by the beneficiaries in availing of these services. It acknowledges the gaps that exist in the governance of the legal aid system in India at the grassroots level and suggests approaches and ways to address these roadblocks to deliver free, swift, and economical access to justice to the poor legal aid beneficiaries. An important critical study of the commitment and competence of legal aid counsels in India, this volume will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of law, Indian law, constitutional law, political science, comparative law, law and gender, and social work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key challenge facing the overall women’s rights scenario in any remote region like Northeast India is availability of trained lawyers in local courts to assist the aggrieved women to fight their rights violation cases or otherwise guard their interests in a dispute. Such legal services, embracing both individual access to justice and public interest law transcending individual needs, contribute to the rule of law, good governance, human rights, empowerment of the poor and poverty alleviation.

Download or read book In the Body of a Woman written by Aaliya Waziri and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-05-04 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘From the enduring shame of the marital-rape loophole to online abuse and the horror of superstition-driven murders, Waziri’s thoughtful collection of essays reminds us that despite our progress, it is a grim landscape for Indian women, with so much left to be done.’ SHASHI THAROOR ‘The author brilliantly lays bare for the reader the emergent, new societal responses towards sexual attitudes and gender justice and competently captures with nuance and sensitivity the attempts of the legal system to keep pace without being overwhelmed.’ SALMAN KHURSHID ‘An incisive and mindful analysis of gender and parity through the intersection of legal frameworks and societal perspectives. Aaliya Waziri draws upon a vast canvas to present an articulate and thoughtful case for gender-responsive lawmaking.’ NAMITA GOKHALE From important contemporary issues like the changing landscape of marital rape laws to the inadequacy of the current cyberbullying laws, from historical milestones such as the women who helped draft the Indian constitution after Independence to examining religious laws and international obligations, Aaliya Waziri writes a deeply researched, informative and powerful book. Her attempt is to address the many questions that a lay person or even a lawyer might have about what lies at the intersection of law, gender and society. In the Body of a Woman, with its focus on gender justice, pivots on the idea that feminism is contextual. There may not be any straightjacket formula to fix all the woes of women but we can start by strengthening our institutional responses and not treat half the country’s population as second class citizens. Occasionally acerbic yet deeply compassionate, hopeful yet sometimes despairing, Waziri doesn’t pull her punches in these essays where she looks clinically at the judicial system but in her own unique, empathetic way that makes this book an engaging read for—it must be stressed—men and women who are interested in probing the intersection of law and gender.
