| Publisher Description: 'The Constitution of India prohibits discrimination on the grounds of gender. India is also a signatory to the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) which requires not just formal non-discrimination but also equality of opportunity and affirmative State action. This book is a valuable guide to achieving safety and gender equality for women at home and in social, political and economic life. It provides not just an analysis of the present situation but also specific policy and institutional proposals and a vision for a future where the principle of fraternity will lead to equality and liberty for all.' |
