Gender Justice - Of The Women,For The Women, By The Women

Gender inequalities throughout the world are among the most all pervasive forms of inequality. Gender equality concerns each and every member of the society and forms the very basis of a just society and hence, the issue of 'gender justice' is of enormous magnitude and of mammoth ramification engulfing an all - embracing and illimitable canvas. In spite of special constitutional guarantees and other legislations, crimes against women in the form of child marriage, rape, dowry, practice of sati, trafficking of the girl child, prostitution, domestic violence, and sexual harassment are on the increase. Globally, gender justice as a cause has gained in strength over the years, as it has been realized that no state can truly progress if half of its population is held back. With globalization, there are other complex issues that women face today along with the elementary issues that have always plagued women. Consumerism and cultural heterogeneity has brought in its fold more objectification of women.
