Title of the paper : Gender Justice and The Law

Abstract: Gender injustice means injustice on the basis of sex. But in practice, the story is different, in the case of injustice to women, it is women only, except the rape cases. In kinds of injustice as domestic violence, forced abortion, detection of sex, dowry death, etc., behind this there are more roles of the women than men. Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, prompting sustainable development and building good governance. This recognition is currently missing in India. However, the mindset of the present age is changing very fast. The constitution of India safeguards womens rights by putting her at par with men socially, politically and economically. Universal education has given her a new confidence. She has proved that she can equal man in all walks of life. She has come out of the four walls of the home. Women have proved to be better doctors, artists, administrators, academician and engineers than many of their counterparts. It is just the beginning much more is to be done. Crimes against women and exploitation of women will not be taken lying down by the more conscious confident and aggressive women in future. This paper highlights gender Justice vis-a-vis Crimes against women and the various laws made to upgrade and safeguard the dignity of women.
