Feminism: An Overview And the Colonization of Diversity
Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies that share a common stated aim: to define, establish, and defend equal political, economic, cultural, and social rights of women rights. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist generally self-defines as advocating for or supporting the rights and equality of women. Feminist theory which emerged from feminist movements aims to understand the nature of gender inequality by examining women's social roles and lived experience; it has developed theories in a variety of disciplines in order to respond to issues such as the social construction of sex and gender. Some forms of feminism have been criticized for taking into account only white, middle-class, educated perspectives. This led to the creation of ethnically specific or multiculturalist forms of feminism.

Pathways to Equality: The Role of Men and Women in Gender EquityAtharv Kurhade
Gender sensitivity is a multifaceted concept that encompasses understanding, acknowledging, and addressing the impact of gender inequality on individuals and society. It involves recognizing the complex interplay between biological sex and socially constructed gender roles, as well as the ways in which these dynamics shape power dynamics, access to resources, and experiences of discrimination. In this comprehensive exploration of gender sensitivity, we will delve into various aspects, including the implications of gender inequality, the role of patriarchy, the importance of breaking stereotypes, and the necessity of promoting gender equality for the liberation of all genders.
Gender inequality manifests in numerous ways, affecting both men and women. Historically, women have faced systemic discrimination and oppression, resulting in limited opportunities for education, employment, and political participation. This inequality not only violates women's rights as citizens and individuals but also perpetuates harmful stereotypes and restricts the full realization of their potential. However, it is essential to recognize that gender inequality also impacts men, albeit differently. Traditional notions of masculinity can create pressure to conform to rigid gender roles, leading to mental health issues, and inhibiting emotional expression.
Understanding the notion of citizenship is crucial for contextualizing gender inequality within broader social and political frameworks. Citizenship entails not only legal rights and responsibilities but also social and cultural recognition within a community or nation. However, gender-based discrimination often undermines women's citizenship rights, denying them equal access to resources, opportunities, and decision-making processes. This violation of women's rights as citizens reflects the pervasive nature of gender inequalities and highlights the urgent need for systemic change.
Central to the perpetuation of gender inequality is the patriarchal system, which privileges men's power and dominance over women. Patriarchy operates through social structures and institutions, reinforcing traditional gender norms and perpetuating inequalities in access to resources and positions of power. By understanding patriarchy as a root cause of gender inequality, we can begin to challenge and dismantle its harmful effects, paving the way for more equitable societies.
Biological sex and socially constructed gender are distinct yet interconnected aspects of identity that shape individuals' experiences and opportunities. While biological sex refers to physical characteristics such as anatomy and genetics, gender encompasses the roles, behaviors, and identities that society attributes to individuals based on their perceived sex. It is essential to recognize that gender is not inherently tied to biology but is instead shaped by cultural norms and expectations.
A ready-made presentation on Violation of Women's rights giving a detailed account of the violence on women globally and in India. Includes historical events that are important in the context of women's rights. This PPT talks about how women's rights are violated on daily basis, globally and in India along with providing measures to ensure our women's safety and well being.

Gender inequality refers to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender. It arises from differences in socially constructed gender roles.
Gender equality, also known as sex equality, sexual equality, or equality of the genders, is the view that everyone should receive equal treatment and not be discriminated against based on their gender.

Gender issues refer to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender. Gender is defined as the characteristics that a society delineates as masculine or feminine, while sex refers to male and female biological characteristics. Gender inequality arises from differences in socially constructed gender roles. Gender issues include gender-based violence such as domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking. Violence disproportionately affects women and girls worldwide and has significant health, social, and economic costs including physical and mental health problems, lost productivity, and economic losses.
The document provides historical background on crimes against women globally and in India. It discusses various forms of violence perpetrated against women by individuals and states internationally. It then outlines important milestones in recognizing and addressing such crimes on the international level from 1979-2013. For India, it describes the prevalence of violence against women resulting from patriarchal systems and lack of access to education and support for victims. It also outlines constitutional provisions and legal measures enacted over time to protect women's rights and prevent crimes against women in India.
It is an outcome of state of art systematic review of literature. It provides insights about the cause, consequences and future concerns of violence against women in India
Domestic violence includes any psychological, physical, sexual, or emotional abuse between intimate partners or family members. It is a pattern of behaviors used to establish power and control over a partner through fear and intimidation. Common forms of domestic violence include physical violence, sexual abuse, threats and intimidation, emotional abuse and economic deprivation. Domestic violence against women is still prevalent in many parts of the world due to patriarchal attitudes and lack of empowerment of women. Efforts are being made through legislation and social reforms to address this issue, promote gender equality, and prevent domestic violence.

This document is the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence. The key points are:
1) It aims to protect women from violence and promote gender equality.
2) Violence against women is defined as gender-based acts that cause physical, sexual or psychological harm.
3) Domestic violence refers to abusive acts within a family or among partners or former partners.
4) States must work to prevent violence, protect victims, and pursue policies of gender equality.
Gender plays a role at various stages of the criminal justice system. The document discusses how gender discrimination and assumptions impact complainants, witnesses, defendants, and prisoners. Women face obstacles in accessing justice and risks of disproportionate harm. Laws may criminalize behaviors only possible for women or punish women more harshly for the same crimes as men. Extreme trauma can lead women to violence yet legal defenses do not consistently consider victimization. Incarcerated women are vulnerable to sexual abuse and face challenges as mothers separated from children. International standards aim to uphold rights and address needs of women and gender minorities in the criminal justice system.
This document summarizes key points from the Beijing Platform for Action regarding violence against women:
1) It defines violence against women and notes that it is a major obstacle to gender equality, development, and peace.
2) Violence against women takes many forms, including physical, sexual, and psychological abuse within families, communities, and by states.
3) It recommends numerous actions that governments, organizations, and other groups should take to prevent violence against women, ensure access to support/justice for victims, educate communities, and promote legal and policy reforms to address this issue.

Gender based violence is violence directed at women because of their gender and includes intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and other forms of abuse. It stems from unequal power relationships between men and women and violates women's basic human rights. Violence against women occurs in families, workplaces, and communities and is perpetrated by both private individuals and state actors. Globally, high rates of physical and sexual violence have been reported, including 38% of all female murders committed by intimate partners. Consequences for victims include physical injuries as well as increased risks of mental health issues, HIV/AIDS, and complications during childbirth. Addressing the underlying causes of gender inequality, discrimination, and social norms that tolerate violence is key to prevention.

3. Key Terms
Gender
The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women
(CEDAW Committee), and refers to “socially constructed identities, attributes and roles for
women and men and the cultural meaning imposed by society on to biological differences,
which are constantly reflected within the justice system and its institutions” (CEDAW
Committee, General Recommendation 33, para. 7).
‘Gender’ is often seen as a ‘woman’s issue’ – as though men don’t have a gender identity.
On the contrary, gender is a social construction that underlies the organization of all.
4. Key Terms
Binary Gender Expectations
Despite non-binary diversity of gender and gender-identity, gender is often reduced to the
social attributes and opportunities associated with being female and male and to the
relationships between women and men and girls and boys, as well as to the relations
between women and those between men. The binary paradigm is socially constructed
and, perpetuates harmful and reductionist stereotypes about the attributes expected of
women and men. In most societies, there are differences and inequalities between women
and men in responsibilities assigned, activities undertaken, access to and control over
resources, as well as decision-making opportunities.
5. What is the difference between “sex” and “gender”?
The distinction between sex and gender differentiates a person's biological
sex (the anatomy of an individual's reproductive system and secondary
sexual characteristics) from that person's gender which can refer to either
social roles based on the sex of the person (gender role) or personal
identification of one's own gender based on an internal awareness (gender
identity).
6. Key Terms
Gender Identity
Each person’s deeply felt internal and individual experience of gender, which may
or may not correspond to the sex assigned at birth, including the personal sense of
the body (which may involve, if freely chosen, modification of bodily appearance or
function by medical, surgical or other means) and other expressions of gender,
including dress, speech and mannerisms. The concept of Gender identity includes
being transgender and, for individuals with bodily diversity who choose to identify
as intersex, gender identity also encompasses intersex.
7. Key Terms
“Honour” Crime (crimes in the name of so-called “Honour”)
Acts of violence that are disproportionately, though not exclusively, committed against girls
and women, because family members consider that certain suspected, perceived or actual
behaviour will bring dishonour to the family or community.
Honour crimes are acts of violence against women and girls, where the perpetrators
invoke terms such as “honour”, “custom” or “tradition” as a justification or excuse for their
actions. In some cases, there is an explicit defence to crimes of violence, or a perpetrator
benefits from a reduced sentence if he or she can persuade the court that they committed
the crime for reasons of ‘honour’.
The term ‘so-called “honour”’ is sometimes used to emphasize that it is a misuse of the
term “honour” to use the concept as an excuse for violence.
8. Key Terms
Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV)
Acts of physical, mental, social or economic abuse (including sexual violence) that is
attempted or threatened, with some type of force (such us violence, threats, coercion,
manipulation, deception, cultural expectations, weapons or economic circumstances) and
is directed against a person because of his or her sex, gender, or the sex/gender roles and
expectations in a society or culture. A person facing sexual and gender-based violence
has no choice to refuse or pursue other options without severe social, physical, or
psychological consequences. Forms of SGBV include sexual violence, sexual abuse,
sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, early marriage or forced marriage, gender
discrimination, denial (such as education, food, freedom) and female genital mutilation
(FGM).
9. Key Terms
Economic Violence (or Financial Abuse)
Acts of control and monitoring of the behaviour of an individual in terms of
the use and distribution of money, and the constant threat of denying
economic resources. In some countries this is called economic abuse or
financial abuse.
10. Key Terms
Hate Crime
The term “hate crime” can be used to describe a range of criminal
behaviours where the perpetrator is motivated by hostility or
demonstrates hostility towards the victim's disability, race, religion,
sexual orientation or gender identity. A hate crime can include verbal
abuse, intimidation, threats, harassment, bullying, assault, or homicide,
as well as damage to property.
11. Key Terms
Gender Related Killing of Women and Girls
Gender-related killing of women and girls, which in some countries is criminalized in
national legislation as “femicide” or “feminicide”, is the killing of women and girls on
account of their gender, encompassing intimate partner homicide, the targeted killing of
women in the context of armed conflict, the killing of women in the context of criminal
activity, including: gangs; organized crime; and the trafficking in women and girls. Gender-
related killing of women and girls also encompasses the so-called honour killing of women
and girls.
12. Key Terms
Survivor/Victim
Survivor: A term that is sometimes used (by choice) as a personal descriptor by woman
or girl who has been subjected to gender-based violence, who is still alive.
Victim: A person who has suffered harm (including physical, mental or emotional harm or
economic loss) directly caused by a criminal offence – regardless of whether an offender
is identified, apprehended, prosecuted or convicted, and regardless of the familial
relationship between them. Some victims choose to refer to themselves as survivors. This
is a matter of personal choice.
13. Topic One
Ending Violence Against Women
Violence against women and girls is a global problem, affecting countries in all regions of
the world (World Health Organization, 2013).
While there is a diversity of different kinds of violence, including: violence inflicted by the
State; violence perpetrated in communities and families such as killings, rape, and sexual
violence; other physical violence such as female genital mutilation (FGM); and
psychological violence such as stalking and trafficking; there are several common factors.
14. Factors common to various forms of violence against women and girls
• Individuals – mainly men and boys, but also sometimes also women and girls, choose
to inflict violence against women and girls.
• Attitudes and stereotypes relating to masculinity and femininity support the use of
violence against women and girls.
• Laws and customs (particularly normative customs relating to culture and religion)
reflect these attitudes and provide a framework in which violence against women is not
sanctioned as it should be.
• Economic inequality is both a facet of gender-based violence against women and
girls (in cases of economic abuse, dowry abuse, etc) and a key means of preventing
women and girls from accessing justice.
15. The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of
Discrimination against Women
For the purposes of the present Convention, the term "discrimination against women" shall
mean any distinction, exclusion or restriction made on the basis of sex which has the
effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment or exercise by
women, irrespective of their marital status, on a basis of equality of men and women, of
human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or
any other field.
Article 1
16. The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of
Discrimination against Women
States Parties condemn discrimination against women in all its forms, agree to pursue by
all appropriate means and without delay a policy of eliminating discrimination against
women and, to this end, undertake:
(e) To take all appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against women by any
person, organization or enterprise.
(f) To take all appropriate measures, including legislation, to modify or abolish existing
laws, regulations, customs and practices which constitute discrimination against women.
Article 2
17. The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of
Discrimination against Women
States Parties shall take in all fields, in particular in the political, social, economic and
cultural fields, all appropriate measures, including legislation, to ensure the full
development and advancement of women , for the purpose of guaranteeing them the
exercise and enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms on a basis of equality
with men.
Article 3
18. Topic Two
Human Rights Approaches to Violence Against Women
To recognize violence against women as a form of discrimination is to recognise it as a
violation of women’s human rights.
In its ground-breaking General Recommendation 19, the Committee on the Elimination of
Discrimination against Women identified violence against women as “a form of
discrimination that seriously inhibits women's ability to enjoy rights and freedoms on a
basis of equality with men” (CEDAW Committee, General Recommendation 19, para. 1).
19. In describing violence against women as a form of discrimination under
Article 1 of the Convention on All Forms of Discrimination Against
Women (GA Resolution 34/180), the CEDAW Committee made an
important point about direct and indirect discrimination: it includes acts
and situations which are created with the purpose of discriminating
against women – that is, intentional discrimination which is done with the
aim of discrimination – and acts and situations which have the effect of
discriminating against women.
Direct and indirect discrimination
20. When stripped of privatization, sexism and sentimentalism, gender-
based violence – which is brutal, systemic and structural – must be
seen as no less grave than other forms of inhumane and subordinating
violence, the prohibition of which has been recognized as jus cogens
[a fundamental rule of international law that binds all States,
irrespective of treaty obligations]”

rights
22. Topic 3
Who has rights in this situation?
Prosecuting domestic violence & sexual violence
- a human rights approach
This topic is divided into two parts:
A) A comprehensive approach to ending domestic violence
B) Prosecuting the crimes of rape and sexual violence – a human rights approach
23. Topic 3(A)
A comprehensive approach to domestic violence
As with child marriage, the persistence and social acceptance of domestic
violence is rooted in the idea that women’s and girls’ priorities and role in life
should be their intimate relationships with men, and that these relationships
should be sustained whatever the cost to the woman, and no matter how abusive
the man is.
24. Given that assaults and killings tend to
be crimes in all domestic legal systems,
why has domestic violence been so
little prosecuted, and remains so
prevalent?

25. Topic 3(B):
Prosecuting the crimes of rape & sexual violence
- a human rights approach
Akayesu case, International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, 1998, defined rape as:
“any act of a sexual nature which is committed on a person
under circumstances which are coercive.”
Coercive circumstances need not be evidenced by a show of physical force. Threats,
intimidation, extortion and other forms of duress which prey on fear or desperation may
constitute coercion, and coercion may be inherent in certain circumstances, such as
armed conflict or the military presence of Interahamwe [armed militia men] among
[women displaced by conflict].”
26. Rape of a detainee by an official of the State must be considered to be an
especially grave an abhorrent form of ill-treatment given the ease with which
the offender can exploit the vulnerability and weakened resistance of his
victim. Furthermore, rape leaves deep psychological scars on the victim
which do not respond to the passage of time as quickly as other forms of
physical and mental violence. The applicant also experienced the acute
physical pain of forced penetration, which must have left her feeling debased
and violated both physically and emotionally.
The Court is satisfied that the accumulation of acts of physical and mental
violence inflicted on the applicant and the especially cruel act of rape to
which she was subjected amounted to torture in breach of Article 3 of the
Convention.

Case Analysis
Rape as an act of Torture
27. “Given the fact that the violence suffered by Maria da Penha is part of
a general pattern of negligence and lack of effective action by the
State in prosecuting and convicting aggressors… this case involves
not only failure to respect to prosecute and convict, but also the
obligation to prevent these degrading practices. That general and
discriminatory judicial ineffectiveness also creates a climate that is
conducive to domestic violence, since society sees no evidence of
willingness by the State, as the representative of society, to take
effective action to sanction such acts.”
Maria do Penha Maia Fernandes v Brazil, 16 April 2001.

the person’s free will assessed in the context of the
surrounding circumstances.” (Article 36(2))
30. Council of Europe Convention on preventing and
combating violence against women and domestic violence,
2011
Parties shall take the necessary legislative or other measures to
ensure that the following intentional conducts are criminalised:
a) engaging in non-consensual vaginal, anal or oral penetration of a
sexual nature of the body of another person with any bodily part
or object;
b) engaging in other non-consensual acts of a sexual nature with a
person;
c) causing another person to engage in non-consensual acts of a
sexual nature with a third person (Article 36)
31. The International Criminal Court’s Elements of Crimes:
“The invasion [of the victim’s body] was committed by force, or by threat of
force or coercion, such as that caused by fear of violence, duress, detention,
psychological oppression or abuse of power, against such person or another
person, or by taking advantage of a coercive environment, or the invasion was
committed against a person incapable of giving genuine consent.
[A footnote here reads: ‘It is understood that a person may be incapable of
giving genuine consent if affected by natural, induced or age-related
incapacity.’]15”

Every woman has the right to be free from violence in both the public and private
spheres. (Article 3)
Every woman is entitled to the free and full exercise of her civil, political, economic,
social and cultural rights, and may rely on the full protection of those rights as
embodied in regional and international instruments on human rights. The States
Parties recognize that violence against women prevents and nullifies the exercise of
these rights. (Article 5)
The right of every woman to be free from violence includes, among others:
a. The right of women to be free from all forms of discrimination; and
b. The right of women to be valued and educated free of stereotyped patterns of
behavior and social and cultural practices based on concepts of inferiority or
