LEGAL LATIN
AND THE CEDAW

5. ● As Amy Krois Lindner
states in “International
Legal English” (2nd Ed,
Cambridge U.P., P.14 ):
● “Lawyers use Latin
words and expressions
when writing legal
texts of every kind,
from statutes to
emails.”
Amy Krois
Lindner

6. They use, for example, the following
expressions in their legal texts:
Expression Meaning
A fortiori …With a greater reason.
A posteriori Later on
A priori As an early idea.
A quo The court that is below
Ab initio At the beginning
Actus reus Guilty act. Part with criminal
liability (with mens rea).

7. Sic (this way, this incorrect way)
Per se By itself . by himself.

8. Ad infinitum Endlessly
Ad litem For this trial
Pro bono For the good=

9. De minimis At the smallest

20. ● Glass ceiling Concepts:
● Glass ceiling is a metaphor used to represent an
invisible barrier that keeps a given demographic
(typically applied to minorities) from rising beyond
a certain level in a hierarchy.
● The metaphor was first coined by feminists in
reference to barriers in the careers of high-
achieving women. In the US, the concept is sometimes
extended to refer to obstacles hindering the
advancement of minority women, as well as minority
men.
● Within the same concepts of the other terms
surrounding the workplace, there are similar terms
for restrictions and barriers concerning women and
their roles within organizations and how they
coincide with their maternal duties.

21. ● These "Invisible Barriers“ function as
metaphors to describe the extra
circumstances that women undergo,
usually when trying to advance within
areas of their careers and often while
trying to advance within their lives
outside of their work spaces.

25. ● 1) Glass Ceiling:
● The United States Federal Glass Ceiling
Commission defines the glass ceiling as "the
● unseen, yet unbreachable barrier that keeps
minorities and women from rising to the
upper
● rungs of the corporate ladder, regardless of
their qualifications or achievements."

28. ● 2) Gender pay gap:
● The gender pay gap is the difference between
male and female earnings.
● In 2008 some studies suggested that the
female earnings of full-time workers were
17% lower than the earnings of their male
counterparts and that "30% of the variation
in gender wage gaps across developed
countries can be explained by discriminatory
practices in the labour market."

30. ● 3) Glass escalator: In addition to the glass ceiling, which
already is stopping women from climbing higher in success
in the workplace, a parallel phenomenon called the "glass
escalator" is occurring.
● This can be defined as how more men are joining fields that
were previously occupied mainly by women, such as nursing
and teaching, and within these job fields, the men are
riding right past women and going straight to the top,
similarly to if they were on an escalator and a woman was
taking stairs.
● Men are being offered more promotions than women and even
though women have worked just as hard, they are still not
being offered the same chances as men are in some
circumstances.

32. ● 4) Sticky floor: In the literature on gender
discrimination, the concept of "sticky floors“
complements the concept of a glass ceiling.
● Sticky floors can be described as the pattern that women
are, compared to men, less likely to start to climb the
job ladder.
● Thereby, this phenomenon is related to gender
differentials at the bottom of the wage distribution.
● They found empirical evidence for the existence of sticky
floors in countries such as Australia,Belgium, Italy,
Thailand and the United States.

34. ● 5) The frozen middle: Similar to the sticky
floor, the frozen middle describes the phenomenon
of women's progress up the corporate ladder
slowing, if not halting, in the ranks of middle
management.

36. ● 6) The second shift: The second shift focuses on
the idea that women theoretically work a second
shift in the manner of having a greater workload,
not just doing a greater share of domestic work.
● All of the task that are engaged in outside of
the workplace are mainly tied to motherhood.
● Depending on location, household income,
educational attainment, ethnicity and location.
Data shows that women do work a second shift in
the sense of having a greater workload.

38. 7) Mommy Track: "Mommy Track" is a term used to describe
women who simply disregard their career and professional duties
in order to satisfy the needs of their families.
--Women are often subject to long work hours that creates an
imbalance within the workfamily schedule.
--There is research suggesting that women were able to function
on a parttime professional schedule compared to others who
worked full-time while still engaged in external family activities.
--The research also suggests, flexible work arrangements allow
for
the achievement of a healthy work and family balance.

47. Abstract
After the infamous Delhi gang rape incident that took place in the
country in the year 2012, there was a dire need to condemn and
make stricter laws against such crimes against women.
The government constituted a committee under the chairmanship
of the former Chief Justice of India, Justice J.S.Varma to suggest
guidelines for the protection of women and this was due to take
shape in the form of the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act 2013.
The recommendations of the committee were however not taken
into consideration as a whole and gender sensitive or gender
specific laws were framed as a result of bowing down to feminist
pressures opposing to gender neutral laws that were recommended
by the committee

48. The author, in the light of the recent Judgments of the Supreme
Court of India namely the Triple Talaq Judgment and the Section
498A Judgment tries to examine the loopholes in the Women
Protection Laws in India that are gender specific and penalizes only
the male gender and does not give equal protection to the male
gender with respect to the same crimes being committed against
them..
The author throughout this article shows forth how these recent
judgments have set the ball rolling towards having laws that
are gender neutral in India owing to bestowing equal rights on
women which will pave way towards attaining equality and social
justice.
