Inside the Family A Report on Democratic Rights of Women

Author

Listed:
  • PUDR Peoples Union for Democratic Rights

Abstract

The report highlights the following aspects: 1. the inability of the legal system to recognise the unique unequal , 2. position of women; 3. the perception of women as peripheral to economic development by the State and their consequent marginalization and exploitation in the labour force; 4. the perpetuation of the notion of the family as a private area governed by religious and social custom; and the bias of the police and courts in relation to crimes against women. The report attempts to relate all these aspects to the function of the family in violating the democratic rights of women.
