Call for Applications! Centre for Women’s Rights, Jindal Global Law School! July 2024!
The Centre for Women’s Rights (‘Centre’) is a research centre at JGLS, which foregrounds its work in pursuit of inclusive and intersectional justice for women (broadly defined) through state-level, national, regional, and international forums by adopting feminist and interdisciplinary approaches. While being committed to high quality research, the Centre aims to bridge the gap between women’s rights activism at the grassroots level, feminist lawyering in the courts and work undertaken by academia. The work of the Centre focuses on the following broad areas: Violence against Women; Women’s Right to Equality and Non-Discrimination; Women, Peace, and Security; and International Law, Human Rights Standards, and Women’s Rights.
