Prof. Saumya Uma recently wrote an article titled "Why the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita Is a Missed Opportunity for Gender Justice". The article was published in The Wire. From clubbing women and children under one chapter to summarily ignoring long-stewing concerns over justice for transgender and queer people, the BNS fails to stand up as a legal system for this day and age. The author is a professor at Jindal Global Law School (JGLS). Read the article below- https://lnkd.in/gdgS2nbk #jgu #jgls #genderequality #genderjustice #articleoftheday

At Davidhorn, championing human rights is central to our mission. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights," a principle we firmly support for everyone, regardless of their identity or whom they love. Sadly, over 75 countries still criminalise same-sex relationships, resulting in harassment, prosecution, imprisonment, and even the death penalty in some places. The United Nations's "Born Free and Equal" report offers crucial guidelines for law enforcement to uphold international human rights laws in this area.

https://lnkd.in/gnkuZMRN Just a reminder that gender diversity is nothing new. Neither are the discriminatory practices targeted at groups who have always existed. Your bigoted preference to discriminate against and isolate groups does not mean that they are nit oart of/new to society. There are also many places that either historically or in present day accept trans people, but due to "Christianity" and other practices have been changed for the worse. Interesting to see the "Next Goal Wins" film put a trans person centre stage in the Pacific context, but also the contrast of being accepted by your community and dealing with discrimination outside of it. This is why diversity in history matters because that's actually history. #humanrights #diversityandinclusion #equityandinclusion #noexcuses #enoughisenough
