Dear All,
Women face violence at homes, in the street and the workplace everyday. A very tiny fraction of these women file complaints and fewer come to court. Even for the few women who do come to court, the judicial process as we know is hostile or indifferent and rarely supportive of the women seeking justice.
As advocates and gender-justice activists, what is it that we can do to ensure that the women who do approach court feel supported ? What are the challenges faced by lawyers in representing women who face violence ? Do join us for the roundtable on Saturday to discuss these questions and more!
We are hoping that this discussion will be the beginning of a longer conversation about how we can encourage more women to come to the judicial system to seek accountability and justice.
