Legal Experts Highlight Challenges in Addressing Sexual Harassment and Rape Trials in India
Two articles address challenges related to gender sensitivity and sexual harassment in India's legal system. The first highlights the Supreme Court Women Lawyers Association's plea to extend the POSH Act protections to practicing advocates, arguing current laws inadequately address harassment without an employer-employee relationship. The second discusses judicial biases in rape trials, noting courts often scrutinize survivors' character influenced by patriarchal views, despite legal reforms aimed at focusing on consent and the accused's conduct.
