ABOUT THE SEMINAR
Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. It is important to observe that sex is biological
manifestation of an individual, while gender is a social tag that is based on certain pre-defined norms. The Constitution of India enshrines principles of equality before law and that all should be given equal opportunities, but fighting the odds of discrimination and prejudices is still a long way. Moreover, Goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals 2015 envisages gender equality by the year 2030 and to achieve the same, the persistent obstacles must be fought with unwavering spirit. To achieve an overall
development, the marginalized genders must engage socially, economically and politically on a larger level and that is the most effective manner through which they can carve an equal space for themselves on the stage. In this backdrop, the Maharashtra National Law University, Nagpur, is organizing a Two Days National Seminar on ‘Gender Just ice- Breaking Stereotypes,
Discriminat ions and Prejudices’.
