Gender Justice (A South Asian Perspective) by S. Sivakumar, Lisa P. Lukose & Manohar Thairani – 1st Edition 2022

Gender Justice and equality are two concepts which exist symbiotically, crumbling the archaic traditions and social practices discriminating people on the basis of their gender and sexual orientation. Gender Justice is critical in poverty eradication, social progress and any developmental agenda. Gender Justice primarily addresses various issues relating to prejudice on the basis of gender. Be it women empowerment or its economic, social or political aspects; issues relating to gender discrimination or issues pertaining to the third gender and their acceptance in the society, a plethora of authors from the South Asian region share their views on these matters which still predominate in the 21st century. They all agree with one voice that “Gender Justice is equality and equity in all spheres of life.”
