International Seminar on Protection of Women and Children Rights: Issues and Challenges
Law Mantra is going to organize a one day International Seminar on Protection of Women and Children Rights: Issues and Challenges
Date: 16th June, 2018
Venue: Indian Law Institute, Bhagwan Dass Road, New Delhi
Background:
The twenty-first century increasingly marks the free movement of merchandise and capital across national boundaries, with all countries bound together by global markets. The rapid growth of private capital flows over the past decade, presents an opportunity for poor and developing countries to access a global pool of savings, technology and management skills; but at the same time it presents new policy challenges in terms of securing sustainable development and poverty reduction.
Globalization has powerful economic, political, cultural and social dimensions as, on one hand, it has opened up enormous opportunities; but on the other hand, it has not been able to spread these opportunities equitably among all social strata. This has resulted, in several cases and especially in developing countries, in a renunciation of state responsibility or the retreat of the state from the provision of public service towards the welfare of its disadvantaged citizens like women and children.
There is a clear need to examine globalization and its impact from a women and child rights perspective. This special issue will critically re-examine the current theory, law, policy and practice of women and child rights and the potential for more women and child sensitive globalization. There is in particular the need to consider the potential for concurrent action on domestic and international fronts, comprising policy changes, specific child-focused programmes, and child sensitive laws and initiatives. In this respect the Convention constitutes a benchmark, yet it is also necessary to question whether the Convention and its implementation produce social justice for children.
Objectives:
- Promotion of international, comparative and global research, advocacy, law reform and policy initiatives on women and child rights;
- Opening up a global discussion on 'children, development and governance' from a child rights perspective;
- Research, advocacy, education and policy engagement on women and child right;
- To bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to discuss problems, disseminate learning, and share international lessons - learned, existing policy research, and studies on various social protection schemes which, in particular, impact women and children.
Themes:
- Child Protection Laws in India
- Child Protection Laws and Role of NHRC and other agencies
- Specific issues with regard to protection of children in India
- Protection of Children: International Laws framework
- Sexual Harassment at Work Place
- Women empowerment and domestic violence
