Title of the paper : Gender Justice: Myth or Reality

Abstract: Gender is defined as the social attributes associated with being male and female and the relationships between women, men ,girls and boys as well as the relations between women and those between men. ender is part of the broader socio cultural context. It also includes the expectations about the characteristics, aptitudes and likely behaviours of both women and men. The concept of gender applied to social analysis reveals how womens subordination is socially constructed. As such the subordination can be changed or ended .Gender relations vary depending on other social relations such as class ,race ,ethnicity etc. They will greatly impact how an individual man or woman experiences processes and institutions such as trials and courts and how they interact with other individuals within these institutions.Gender justice is a strategy for making an integral dimension of the design, implementation ,monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes in all political ,economic and societal spheres so that women and men benefit equally and thus the ultimate strategy is to achieve gender equality. In general gender equality implies that the interests, needs and priorities of both men and women are taken into consideration,recognising the diversity of different groups of women and men.
